But I have to say, it was fun doing this Love Letter album because, hey, man, love has never failed. It has won every battle. And today and forever more it will go on undefeated. I'm also a very loving person.

I went from a D all the way to an A plus, I tell you prayer changes things.

I'm in love with music, and I'm pregnant by it. It's like having twins. Or triplets. Or eight-lets!

Take away the In God We Trust, tell me what the hell is wrong with us.

I want people to notice my writing abilities are real and that I'm not just stuck in one situation.

It's amazing to know that 5 years ago I was writing songs in a basement in the ghetto and now I'm writing for Michael Jackson. I'd be a fool not to say it's a dream come true.

I spend like $2 million a year on Chinese food and pizza for ten people in the studio who don't sing or produce.
