I've seen lawyers who don't represent me and spokespeople who do not know me speaking for me. These characters always seem to surface with dreadful allegations just as another project, an album, a video is being released.

Before you judge me, ask me about my childhood. And I will ask you about yours.

I love to read. I wish I could advise more people to read. There's a whole other world in books.

My fans truly are a part of me, we share something that most people will never experience.

When they say the sky's the limit to me that's really true

They did it to try and belittle me, to try and to take away my pride. But I went through the whole system with them. And at the end, I - I wanted the public to know that I was okay, even though I was hurting.

I don't understand why the press is so interested in speculating about my appearance, anyway. What does my face have to do with my music or my dancing?
