My father has a manufacturing company in Kentucky and he's an electrical engineer. A brilliant man. A brilliant businessman. So he understands the business aspects of my business very well. My dad and I always communicate when I have to negotiate a deal.

I feel really blessed to first of all have the opportunity to do music, and second of all to have it be going well.

I kept writing all these ballads; they're me speaking about life. But how am I gonna do the live show I wanna do if I don't have something I can dance to?

I can't take the theater side out of myself.

Being a creative person. It's so much more rewarding when you find things on your own, to live whatever the writers are writing or to display what the director is looking for. You are the thing that everybody uses to get the story out.

What I've noticed about celebrities is, if they are really successful, they're more down-to-earth.

I feel connected to a higher power when I'm making music or performing. There's a spiritual experience for me.
