Spend time with people who know how to use their days well. Just as iron sharpens iron, positive people will inspire you to be positive.

I don't ever want to have to depend on a relationship. I think it's a really special thing to find love. It's beautiful. Nothing can match it. But I want to make sure that I find other things in life that I love besides . . . love.

I always keep my guard up with guys and I guess that can get in the way sometimes. I can make them go through hell.

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but chains and whips excite me.

You don't want to live your life and then meet someone. You want to share your life with someone. That's what I'm missing right now.

Hurt me with the truth,don't comfort me with a lie.

I would have never dreamed that my career would be this successful. I grew up in an average home in Barbados, and we didn't live in the best neighborhood. But I was never aware that we were poor; my mom never made us feel that way. She loved me unconditionally. She made us feel anything was possible and instilled in me such confidence.
