I'm not a reluctant pop star. I'm very grateful and happy for everything that I have and for things when they go well. On the other hand, I've had enough of the other side to know that if it doesn't, I will survive that and life goes on.

Set your goals high and go far. Don't put off tomorrow what you can do today.

Manipulating people, that's what I'm good at

Power without guilt, love without doubt.

I'm not claiming to appeal to the same people that Christina Aguilera or Britney Spears are going to appeal to. I'm not trying to. I'm doing what I want to do.

You're so consumed with how much you get, you waste your time with hate and regret.

Family is everything. Family comes first. It's not what I expected it to be, but nothing ever is.
