When you're going to do whatever you're going to do, you have to get your, put your mind into it.

It's not just songs and glamour. It's sweat, blood, broken toes, and mistakes... It's life.

I like to do interior design, I love to quilt, I love to see different colors together, and I love to match things up.

Yonkers made me strong and made me believe in myself, because so many people would doubt you and not believe. There are people that would believe in you, but the environment was so harsh, nobody wanted you to get out, you know?

Just don't let the hype of what people are saying and how much they love you, y'know, just take the compliment and be thankful that people are complimenting you, but don't let it consume you; don't let your circumstances around you and the way people view you make you act a certain way.

I've been praying to God to show me how to forgive myself. Because... maybe... that's the thing I've been searching for.

When I was five years old I was molested and just, you know. I remember feeling, literally right before it happened, I just could not believe that this person was going to do this to me. That thing followed me all my life. The shame of thinking my molestation was my fault - it led me to believe I wasn't worth anything.
