I embrace my body, and I embrace everything about myself.
I felt caged by my childhood.
I have a lot of things to say and a lot of things to let out of me.
I’m not just another bimbo.
When you’re seventeen years old, green and inexperienced, you’re grateful for any guidance and direction you can get.
Power is making a statement about who you are.
Whether you like me, or hate me, this is me.
Etta James is my all-time favorite singer. I’ve said it in every interview, in every story, in every on- and off-camera question. That music was always such a huge escape for me, even from a young age.
Men aren’t as strong and capable as we are. We’re machines.
It’s hard being such a powerful woman in the business. I’m known for not always being warm and fuzzy, because you’ll just get bulldozed over.
Some people are only alive because it is illegal to kill.
So now the devil’s in my soul.
I think an artist can fit under a few different categories depending on how much you explore your creativity. It can vary from artist to artist from musician to performer to vocalist. I thrive on creativity. So in the long run I want to be an all around entertainer.
Call me a slag. If it means being a strong woman, I’ll gladly be that.
I enjoy real people, down-to-earth people who are true to themselves and honest to your face – good or bad.
I just kick off my shoes, walk around barefoot, I don’t care if my feet get dirty.
I love getting my feet massaged.
The schedule is crazy – it’s all suitcases and hotel rooms and you just go nonstop. It’s a crazy lifestyle, it really is.
My elementary school days were miserable. After Star Search, the jealousy got really bad that our neighbors slashed our tires.
It’s a big responsibility to help someone express themselves as an artist.
