My journey continues, because I've, you know, conquered a lot. And I know how to conquer the rest.

When I was a kid, I needed to sing because it makes me feel good about myself. It makes me feel good, period.

I've been a tomboy my whole life. But then you get older, you get married, you soften up.

For the first time in my life, I'm proud of myself

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

I'm a child of God. God is my mommy, my daddy. That's the only thing that'll keep my head up. If I don't remember who I am in him, I'm done.

I can't just make a song people can dance in a club to... it still has to be real.
