This is for all of you out there tonight, reaching for a dream - don't ever give up! Never ever listen to anyone, when they try to discourage you, because they do that, believe me!

I always felt like the rug could be pulled out from under me at anytime. And coming from a racially mixed background, I always felt like I didn't really fit in anywhere.

I'd rather be onstage with a pig - a duet with Jennifer Lopez and me just ain't going to happen.

It's not easy that everything you do, everybody has to come in and critique it and give their opinion. Sometimes it does help me and sometimes it hurts me as a person. That's life. I have feelings.

I'm the queen of festivities, that's all I can say.

Lord knows dreams are hard to follow, but don't let anyone tear them away.

Something in your eyes captured my soul, and every night I see you in my dreams. You're all I know. I can't let go.
