Keep your sense of self; don't get caught up in what people want you to be.

I am constantly working out-circuit training, jumping rope, and stair-stepping, and sticking to 1200 calories a day. It can't be something that you're doing to lose weight, and then once you do, you're done. I do it every day of my life.

It's wonderful to have money. But It's good that I know what the other side is like. I don't take for granted what I have now.

I know myself, and when you start to really know who you are, you don't question it when you read what someone says about you.

I had some wonderful times in my 20s, but your 20s are hard.

Every day of my life is going out in public and seeing people's lives and listening to stories - all that kind of stuff musically inspires me.

I refuse to discuss tabloid rumors.
