I get more anxious than nervous before a concert.

I've got high standards when it comes to boys. As my dad says, all girls should! I'm from the South - Tennessee, to be exact - and down there, we're all about southern hospitality. I know that if I like a guy, he better be nice, and above all, my dad has to approve of him!

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.

I feel like I'm one of the biggest feminists in the world because I tell women not to be scared of anything.

Imperfectios equal beauty. We are all imperfect.

I don't have a normal life.

Remember what things make you special and embrace those because there are so many things that aren’t on the outside that are so important and people find so beautiful.
