Since having the babies, I realize that 90 percent of losing weight is my diet.

I look around and see the things I have, and I remember not having them. That is one thing that keeps me grounded. I'm definitely the same person I was. . . . I never lose me, I never lose the real person.

The best part of making music, for me, is collaborating and working with new people and fresh sounds and all those things that get people excited to continue in this business that we all love so much.

I still get nervous sometimes before performing.

If you see me as just the princess then you misunderstand who I am and what I have been through.

when you feel like hope is gone, look inside you and be strong and you'll finally see the truth- that hero lies in you.

Heartbroken and in tears over the shocking death of my friend, the incomparable Ms. Whitney Houston. My heartfelt condolences to Whitney's family and to all her millions of fans throughout the world. She will never be forgotten as one of the greatest voices to ever grace the earth.
