I love the role that men play in our lives.

My music must reflect whatever's going on in my mind, and my life needs to evolve for me to discover who it is I'm becoming.

When I'm writing music, I'm not acting it out - it's all me. I feel that my responsibility is to be truthful about myself, first and foremost. I'm not going to sing things I don't believe in no matter who is benefitting from it.

In a way, we women take on more than we need to sometimes.

I lost my sense of trust, honesty and compassion. I crashed down and became what I consider an emotional mess. I've never been so miserable in my whole life. I just wanted to go to bed and never get up.

So many people bare their midriffs, I don't know why mine is such an issue.

I wish my parents had spent more time worrying about my education than me being a star.
