I wish that I was looking into your eyes

I wasn't allowed to listen to a lot of music growing up. It wasn't until I started to make my gospel record when I was around 14 or 15 that I started to be exposed to more outside influences.

I can't rate myself, but if you ask Russell I'm sure he'd give me a ten out of ten.

Kids are so smart these days. They sense when there's a phony bologna out there. Especially in music, when they see something that's being marketed to them, they'll call it out. They'll be like, "This chick is bullshit."

I say what I think. I'm a real person, not some manufactured pop tart who's afraid to step out of the hotel room. I am flawed. I swear, I have the occasional cocktail, I pick my nose and I fart. I'm not running for any presidential campaign at the moment. I'm a sassy girl.

You have to spend a lot to make a lot. It's not like I'm sitting on top of a pile of money.

I still believe in love, most definitely. I'm just going to let that take the lead.
