Cause I'm no better than you, you, or you. And I can't get on no throne and preach, 'cause I'm not God.

Working in the studio is a more personal experience whereas on stage in front of a billion people, its more exciting performing live.

You have to create different things, either through lighting or changing the format of the songs and how you're going to sing them, and even sometimes props.

Cause I'm no better than you, you, or you. And I can't get on no throne and preach, 'cause I'm not God.

I'm my worst critic, and I like the fact that I can listen to myself now and make fun of myself, listen, make changes - 'Oh, man, that's messed up. Okay, I need to work on that; I need to work on this.'

No one intimidates me because I'm not trying to do what you do, because I can't do what you do. I can only do what Mary J. Blige can do, so that relaxes me right there, and it gets me out of the competition and that whole thing.

So as long as I'm a human being and I'm not perfect, I'm able to say I'm having some growing pains. Because in order to sustain where you are once you made such a breakthrough that everyone is looking at you, now everyone is like, 'Ooh, is she gonna make a mistake?' Yes, I'm going to make a mistake. Yes, I'm still gonna do things.
