The minute I started addressing my feelings, I actually came out of very negative situations.

It's kinda like being on a roller coaster. If you don't get on the ride, you won't experience the adventure.

I don't want a boyfriend just for the sake of it. I don't trust most people out there. There's too much at risk and I don't need to be a notch on somebody's bedpost. I'll flirt with you all night long, but then it's buh, bye!

I'm not for the villains, I'm only for the princesses. I mean it's fun to have Jafar [Aladdin cartoon villain] or whatever; I didn't even remember their names 'cause they're not important to me.

I'm experimenting with my voice. Every day I do different things with it, and if I feel it's appropriate I do it on the record.

You don't have to be doing vocal acrobatics or singing all over the scale to have soul.

Don't you know that you're blowing my mind? What you do to me I can't describe. Baby, I can't hold back anymore. I just can't conceal it. You're the one I really adore.
