Whatever you're going through in your life, don't ever give up.

You really just want to know that somebody loves you for you. Sometimes you feel like an ATM machine with a wig on it.

I've seen the real extreme diva behaviour and I don't think that's who I am.

Butterflies are always following me, everywhere I go.

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.

We've all been influenced by other people...If Minnie Riperton never existed, would I have even thought of singing in that (upper) register? I doubt it.

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.
