I don't want no drama in my life, even though we have a little bit, but no more letting people control you. That's drama, because then you become something that you're not.

I believe there are certain things that God uses to get us out of a bad situation, and I believe music was one of the things he used for me.

'My Life' is soft, with notes of pear and gardenia, but still bold, with a woody base.

'My Life' is not an autobiography. It's just music.

I can't just make a song people can dance in a club to... it still has to be real.

You can't get around pain and opposition, but you can try to be joyful in the trial, and thank yourself for the trial, and thank God for the strength to get through it.

...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.
