You do silly things for love sometimes and not-so-smart things for love.

I decided early on that I was going to put on my crown and rule my world by acting right and treating myself like a queen.

Those curveballs are always coming-eventually, you learn to hit some of them.

To me, hip hop will never be right until female rappers have a stronger voice in it.

Let your inner queen's voice come through loud and clear. Be strong, be authentic, be you, and you'll do her proud.

I always loved all kinds of music. I would watch musicals a lot as a kid, on TV, watch the Fred Astaire movies. I'd watch 'The Wizard of Oz.' I was a big Jerry Lewis fan, and they'd have these big bands and someone singing - some siren, or some guy singing some gorgeous song. I was always enamored of that style of music.

I write pretty often. I have a home studio. Music is what I do for fun. I never get tired of it, so to take a break from [TV and movies], I would go make some music.
