Don't go a full day or night without washing your face. You have to get all the dirt and makeup out of your pores.

I listen to gospel music.

When you tell your truth, you are coming from a real place, so you are automatically a leader.

Don't give up, be positive and if you know someone who knows someone at a record company don't stop beating down their door till you get heard. Don't ever say it'll never happen or it'll never happen.

...I would be a liar and my fans would hate me if I said to them, 'Oh, we're perfect and everything is great.' We have situations just like everyone else. We're not out in public trying to kill each other, but it's real. We love each other.

It's that first step-getting out the door-that's the toughest. If you can do that, you've already won.

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.
