I like hair each and every way. I like to give scalp massages - to pull and tug on it. But my favorite style is long, real hair in a dusty blonde-brown color.

I wish I never fell so deep in love with you and now it ain't no way we can be friends.

I grew up poor, but I didn't really know it because of amazing places like the Salvation Army where we got a lot of our Christmas presents from.

The first tattoo I got was when I was 17, and it's a cross on my bicep with 'Only God Can Judge Me' underneath.

I take pride in working very hard. You need to understand that hard work doesn't instantly pay off. My career grew gradually and taught me a lesson every step of the way.

A lot of people are wanting him [Barack Obama] to be the president just because he's black. But I think he does have some good views.

From the music I make, to the things I do in my life, I'm true to my R&B core.
