I still don't think I'm really a beautiful person, but I know that I can be beautiful inside.

Imagine for a minute yourself in the same shoes, the same sense of survival and the same nothing to lose.

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

I ain't acting when I'm on stage. That's why all the little love bugs who'll come and see me at Lovebox love me. They know it's the real me.

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

I'm older, and I wish that a lot of things that I did in my life, I didn't do, but I'm able to talk about it.

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.
