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 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 am very proud of Zendaya for standing up for herself, her generation and her ancestors. Her response was classy. Locs are a lifestyle for some and for others an artistic fashion statement..In either case, the images express power, natural beauty, and a boldness that always stands out. It is when you truly spend time with a person that you know who they really are on the inside, and not by what you see on the outside.

So in every sense, from an independent artist to a major label artist, you just have to have great product, great faith and great people, they all go together.

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

our product will speak for itself if it's that good and your fan base will come and people will want it. Having the right people in your circle is very important to help support that.

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.
