The streets respect me because I kept it real with me. You gotta be real with yourself, and the streets recognize game.

Everything is scary if you look at it. So you just got to live.

I know who I am. I am not perfect. I'm not the most beautiful woman in the world. But I'm one of them.

This music business can suck all the love out of you, all the compassion for people - you can start to think you're better than them. But I want to continue to let people know that I'm no better and no worse, I'm just like you.

It hurts a lot when you cannot really comprehend what a person is saying in a meeting, or you don't even understand what you're reading in your contract.

It hurts when you have to smile and you don't want to smile, but the best thing to do is to smile.

I'm on my way to a place where I'd never dreamed I'd be, and that's perfection.
