I don't allow the industry or anybody to put me in a box. I did that for a minute and I was like, 'I can't do this anymore.'

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.

I do sing in the car. I actually sing Britney Spears songs in the car - me and a close friend of mine. She lives in West Palm and I live in Miami, and when we're going back and forth to see each other, we sing: 'Oh, Baby Baby.' We sing all these 1990s songs. We're like two 14-year-old kids just having a good time.

Coming into the music industry, even when I was a kid, one thing I learned is timing is everything. You being prepared is everything.

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.

The only thing I really love is Fiji water. That's like the only crazy request - I don't like any other water.

I am not perfect! When I was a little girl I thought I was ugly. My nose was too big for my face.
