I've been praying to God to show me how to forgive myself. Because... maybe... that's the thing I've been searching for.

I mean, I know my heart is not clean, and your heart is not clean, and none of our urban hearts are clean. But you can be washed again.

I'm striving toward this acting thing. I'm definitely gonna work hard on that, whatever comes my way, I'm gonna work hard on it.

I felt ashamed about everything. Me dropping out of high school, me not, you know, just not being beautiful enough. I just didn't feel like I was smart enough or beautiful enough, you know, for years.

I never do any album to beat it. I do it to extend it.

Love is wonderful, amazing, and the best thing that can happen to us.

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