I tell people, you know, going to the club doesn’t make me a bad person, going to church doesn’t make you a good one.

A lot of people wanted to try to make me the white Nicki Minaj. That’s not what I’m trying to do. I love ‘hood’ music, but my talent is as a singer.

It really isn't very glamorous to sing because you have to make all these funny faces to make it sound like the record. You really want to sound the best you can so you have to make all these disgusting faces.

I think water’s, like, a really important thing.

They're not role models. So for me it was a bad decision, because of my fans and because of what I stand for.

You deal. You survive. You grow up and you build a career. And you remember these big/little hardships. They make you human.

The only people that you really have, that I learned, are your family, because they love you no matter what.
