Know the business you're in for whatever you do, know it and understand how it works so you can be successful.

There ain't a wrong time or a wrong place to flaunt. If you feel good, then go on and show it off!

There's always a story in music, and it's expressed through my music.

I'm always doubting because I've been told so much that, you're not the right look or you're not the right sound, and, you know, whether I do jazz or R&B there are always complaints.

I love opera so much. I would never go back to doing it, but I love to listen - I'm grateful for it. I studied diction, breathing control, phrasing, why the song means something. You want to bring that across to your listeners.

When you don't know how beautiful you are, you will always be in search of happiness.

I'm very open, I love music and I love people so you need to know what's going on.
