Dancing is another way to communicate. That's what separates The Pussycat Dolls from other groups.

It takes time to really understand your body shape and it's taken me years to know what I can and can't pull off.

Music is my passion - it's what I love and it's in my blood. You can never take me away from my work.

Girl power is about loving yourself and having confidence and strength from within, so even if you’re not wearing a sexy outfit, you feel sexy.

I think shoulders are sexier than cleavage.

I was a very quiet, shy child. I grew up in a small town, Louisville, Kentucky, and there weren't too many Hawaiian-Filipino girls, so I stuck out like a sore thumb. I didn't look like everyone else and didn't feel I belonged... But these things only build character and make you stronger. It taught me to grow into the woman I was to become.

The word feminism has negative connotations for men. Rather, we are wanting to celebrate females and their confidence. There is no political agenda behind my work. I'm just trying to make music that makes me feel good and confident. We've got a cool message.
