I'm searching for a real love.

That's the message I want to give to every up-and-coming artist: Do everything that is going to help you later. If you clone somebody else, that's all they're gonna keep wanting from you.

I like French fries; I like mashed. I love potatoes.

It's that first step-getting out the door-that's the toughest. If you can do that, you've already won.

God loves me and sent his son to die for me so I have to live to please him because he saved me when everyone abandoned me.

I don't know what kind of God the rest of y'all are serving, but the God I serve says, 'Mary, you need to be the hottest thing this year, and I'm gonna make sure you're doing that.'

You can look at my palm and see the storm coming. Read the book of my life and see I've overcome it.
