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

If critics have problems with my personal life, it's their problem. Anybody with half a brain would realize that it's the charts that count.

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 want to collaborate with me 'cause I've done so many collaborations that after a certain point unless you're really working with a certain caliber of an artist, there's no point [to collaborate].

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

It's a long road when you face the world alone, when no one reaches out a hand for you to hold. You can find love if you search within your soul, and the emptiness you felt will disappear.

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