I wish I had known that education is the key. That knowledge is power. Now I pick up books and watch educational shows with my husband. I'm seeing how knowledge can elevate you.

I was inspired to create 'My Life' so I could finally share a personal part of my life beyond my music.

I'm on my way to a place where I'd never dreamed I'd be, and that's perfection.

You either learn from your experiences or go back and do the same thing, and I learned from my experiences.

One day I realized that I wasn't getting anywhere by blaming other people for my circumstances. I finally understood: Even if you feel someone has wronged you or owes you something, no one is going to give you anything for free.

I’ve done well, I’ve been disappointed, and I think it all goes back to you. Of course the labels are going to be the labels. It’s the music business. You are a business. That’s what they do. So you’ve got to protect yourself.

Sometimes I frown and I don't realise it.
