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.

Everybody is doing the same old thing.

I've always had a lot of creative impact on the music with Timbaland.

Every day is not a beautiful day for anybody, but I try to treat all my fans nice and all the interviewers nice.

Music is a male-dominated field. Women are not always taken as seriously as we should be, so sometimes we have to put our foot down.

My Struggles is a record close to me. It's about what I went through at home living with an abusive father.

I'm close to my mother, and I could sit talking on the phone with her all day.
