I pride myself on being the type of artist who can work half in the R&B world and half in the pop world.

For those people who want to keep following trends, you do that and when the trend goes away so will you.

Women wanted to be viewed as equals to men. So men were like, 'You wanna be viewed as equal to me, then open your own damn door.' But I still don't view it as an excuse to be an a**hole.

My mom was the picture of the blue-collar mom: Two and three and four jobs to make sure that me and my sister never needed, that was her thing

I honestly don't feel that it's my music that's under-appreciated. I think that it's me that's under-appreciated. As an artist, period.

Sexy as she wanna be and she dancing next so close to me. I said please excuse, you steppin on expensive shoes.

I feel like everything is inspired by something else. There is no 100 percent original thought.
