Well, that's your opinion, isn't it? And I'm not about to waste my time trying to change it.

No press, no television. If my mom calls and says, 'Did you hear about?' I don't want to know nothing about anything that is going on in relation to music. I shut it all off.

I am focused on the work. I am constantly creating. I am a busy girl. I live and breathe my work. I love what I do. I believe in the message. There's no stopping. I didn't create the fame, the fame created me.

I remember watching the mascara tears flood the ivories and I thought, "It's OK to be sad." I've been trained to love my darkness.

If you dont have any shadows you're not in the light

Because the sweeter the cake, the more bitter the jelly can be.

I was so ashamed of who I was.
