For the first few years we paid all the bills first and divided what was left as salary. Sometimes that was $50 a week.

Seems it's my destiny for love to cause me misery.

In the late '90s, R&B was dominant in the radio, and the white kids were taking it mainstream.

I tend to put my foot in my mouth. I'm not good at being diplomatic. I tend to piss people off.

You can't move mountains by whispering at them.

The aggressive side of me comes across in my music, but I'm just a sweet girl.

There are 50 new tabloids every year, and I'm in them, and I read them, and I do stupid things.
