I don't smoke often, maybe once or twice a month, but it makes me feel sexy and romantic.

I've always been able to do sprinkles of hip-hop here and there in all my albums, but I'm not sure how my fans are gonna feel about coming out first with something that's so hip-hop.

There are problems with the single already. I don't want to put out the first single, Hit the Freeway.

I'll probably be 80 years old and still performing. Music is like fashion, it changes. But some things will always be the same.

Will people think I've been dropped? Oh God, you don't want people to think that. No one will want to touch you if they think you got dropped.

I think that once an artist has proven herself and you sell lots of records, you should be compensated.

I learned that I had to believe in myself and not just to be comfortable with the opinions of others. I'm just more in control; I finalize everything.
