Make sure that your song is fun and catchy. Make sure that you enjoy singing, and drink tea.

Singing is just another outlet to express what I feel and to show everyone who I really am. I really don't talk about my personal life that much in interviews because that's my life, but with music, the way I write explains who I am.

My perfect guy right now would be a mannequin - one that comes alive only when I need him to!

He's a very funny and very nice man. When you read the script, you want to stick with it. But when you're with Eddie Murphy you've got to improvise. He's always making jokes and making me crack up when the camera's on.

My parents are my role models. I also love Halle Berry, Robert DeNiro, Eddie Murphy, Angela Bassett, Tom Cruise and Jennifer Lopez. When I see their work, I get engulfed in it. They really capture me.

Don't spend all of your time trying to be like someone else because you can never be them and they can never be you.
