Life's not about sitting at home in front of the TV waiting for your life to begin. Get out there and take some chances.

Running for office was definitely something I've thought about. When I was younger, I wanted to major in political science. And I've been engaged in current events since I was a kid. If I can make a difference and feel passionately and capable, then I would. Why not?

Some people observe life naturally and sometimes you just have to let things out and think about it later.

I want to see 10 female rappers getting regular rotation. It can't be all about a man's opinion.

When I want to push myself and do intense workouts, I do that, but I'm not going to do it because anybody thinks I should look a certain way. It's really more about how I feel and about being healthy.

So often, you don't get that opportunity. You only go over everything once and, the next thing you know, you're on set.

Church was a requirement, there was no choice in the matter, so was vacation bible school. Gospel has been in me since I was a kid.
