I don't like to be a preacher or anything, but the one thing that I've learned is that you truly are what you eat.

People just take your kindness for weakness sometimes, and that's just the bottom line.

I am comfortable with anything I sing: jazz, gospel, classical. It doesn't matter. I can do it all.

And I just pray that god gives me longevity in the music industry.

I feel like my unwillingness to look for healthy options now is the reason why I have put my weight back on. … Everybody knows how to diet, everybody has had their shares of ups and downs of yo-yo diets, but the hardest thing is to learn really how to make this a lifestyle that you can sustain for the rest of your life.

I never want to try to be a spokesperson for health and wellness because I most definitely am not the most in shape person in the world.

I like doing theaters. I like being up close and personal with the fans. It's really cool.
