People in my neighborhood inspired me to sing. Believe in your ability no matter what, but be realistic with yourself and your ability.

I believe that anything man himself can do for me, God can do for me in a greater way. I decided to pray and to seek God on my own. I just stayed in The Word. And it worked.

I like what I see when I'm looking at me when I'm walking past the mirror.

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

I've just been growing right along. It's painful, but it's a great pain, and I like suffering for great results. It's like going to the gym. It hurts really bad at first, but after a couple of months and after that diet, you're looking so hot.

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

Sometimes I frown and I don't realise it.
