I'm everything I'm made of. So a part of me is made of classical music. I'm grateful for it.

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

Tell me I can't so I can show you I CAN!

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.

I'm not competing with anyone, or begging someone to love me. I feel like I'm loved and I deserve to be where I am.

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