There is one thing about knowing history, and another in recreating it.

God in my mind gives you what you need. So, if you need God to be a black woman and you need that for whatever your reasons are, then perhaps your blessings will come in that form.

I can't speak for what other artists should do. I can only tell you how I live.

I prefer doing interviews where people don't have to interpret what you say. I'm going to be real honest.

I do believe that we're all God's children.

There are moments where you stop living, if you stop changing, and if you stop seeking growth of some sort.

The older you get, you always learn more. Sometimes it's a process of learning about yourself and what your journey is. Sometimes the process moves forward at a rapid pace in a short amount of time - or moves backwards. And you're like, "Man, I thought I had made so much progress, and now all of a sudden, I'm 10 steps further behind than when I started."
