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

I find it funny that people now come up to me and say, 'Wow, you are absolutely gorgeous. I'm like, 'I was beautiful before I lost weight. Egotistically speaking, I thought I was amazing.'

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.

I never said I wasn’t Black… I want to make that very clear. I said, I am not African-American. I never expected my personal beliefs and comments to spark such emotion in people. I think it is only positive when we can openly discuss race and being labeled in America.

Knowing that I make somebody's day better is all that matters at the end of the day.

You should embrace who you are, and make the best person that you can be, not what somebody else wants you to be.

I want to be labeled 'a human who loves humans.'
