I respect everybody, but at the same time, I carry myself with an aura that demands respect, too.

I have low self-esteem and I always have. Guys always cheated on me with women who were European-looking. You know, the long-hair type. Really beautiful women that left me thinking, 'How I can I compete with that?' Being a regular black girl wasn't good enough.

My fan mail is what keeps me going.

If your immature, I'm out the door.

I like to live righteous. And I just want everyone to know I'm not trying to get out of anything.

Today begins a new saga in my life which I expect to strengthen me and allow me time for reflection... I plan to write music while in prison, read and pray regularly and will come out a stronger, more confident woman.

I haven't had sex in eight months. To be honest, I now prefer to go bowling.
