I can't watch my first audition because it makes me too upset. I just think it is really sad. I look at myself and don't recognize myself. I do think fame and fortune changes people.

I like listening to old soul music. I like Sam Cooke. When I was growing up, the first things I was listening to was Whitney Houston and Cher. They were really big inspirations for me.

I'd definitely like more kids when I'm older. And I think I'm like every woman in that I'd like to get married one day.

People think that because of my nature and the tone of my voice that I'm stupid, and that's hard.

If you are going to survive in business, show business or any business, then you have to be bold.

You meet someone, you care for them, and you fall in love; it's what it is.

I like to write poetry.
