I want to tell stories and make people feel good. That's when music is at its finest.

I love doing collaborations - it's always good to do something that's out the box.

I ain't gonna get this, it's a horror movie, it's hard to act scared.

I'm careful with my heart. I don't take crap from no one these days. I put my foot down. Being a woman, you deserve heaven and earth.

You know how the Beatles broke off - they all did their solo projects and they came back together and they were even stronger!

I got into cooking just by watching my mom and my aunts and my great-aunts and actually one of my cousins who has her own catering business in Atlanta, Georgia. So everybody around me really cooked and it was just all these different styles and backgrounds and cuisines of cooking that I found so interesting.

Honesty, like my mama always says, is always the best policy.
