I don't listen to people's opinions. I have people around me who I can trust, but most of all I listen to myself.

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

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'm a singer who thinks like a rapper.

I barely have time for my own children. To adopt more children and not have time for them, that would be poor parenting on my part.

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.

My God is a God who wants me to have things. He wants me to bling. He wants me to be the hottest thing on the block.
