I've had great people come in my life, meaning not just men, but women, support me and empower me. So that has lifted me to be the woman I am.

Just be open, life is about a constant journey and I'm very spiritual, but I'm also in touch with what's going on around me and who I am, and you have to know yourself. So for me, that's what keeps me going is just being interactive.

I love energy and people; gosh I love people even when they got on my nerves.

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.

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

I'm known for long colorful locs but I still don't take my hair too seriously. Changing it helps express who I am.
