I gotta feel like what I'm giving the fans is 100 per cent and that it's game-changing. I don't just throw out microwave records.

What my home life is like now is great.

I like collaborating, but I felt I should do my first single by myself so people don't think I'm leaning on other artists to be a success.

I'm not a person that's walkin' down the street looking mean all day.

People ask, "What do you think about being called Puff Mommy?" Puff's a very successful young man, so I don't have a problem if that's what they wanna call me. If anybody calls me a female Quincy Jones, that's way, way complimentary. That's something I'll cherish for life.

When interviewers ask me who I'm sleeping with or if I don't like such-and-such or what is my sexuality, that's not beneficial to the world. They need to ask me about stuff that may help readers, like how my father abused my mother for many years. A lot of kids go through that and need to know what they should do.

No, because I don't want to hear what's hot and feel I have to copy it. I'll just make up my own thing.
