Once you climb to another level, you have to figure out how to sustain it.

It's OK showing yourself some love.

Really, every woman is an example to me, because as women we go through so much pain. We have to live this perfect life when we are messed up inside. We all go through trials and tribulations.

From being a little girl in the projects, going through all of the mess that I was going through, to ending up at the Inauguration for the first African-American president, I'm speechless right now because I never thought I'd - I never ever - I couldn't even see that far. Even when I ended up in the music business I couldn't see that.

It's up to us to choose whether we win or lose...and I choose to win.

I'm searching for a real love.

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