I had a 23 per cent blockage in my micro-arteries. At first the doctors thought I needed a heart transplant, then they said I have microvascular angina, which means I will be on medication for the rest of my life.
Like Scarlett O’Hara, I won’t be broke again.
When I first go out on stage, there are tummy bubbles everywhere.
Dating is different when you get older. You’re not as trusting, or as eager to get back out there and expose yourself to someone.
I look at other artists who have had fabulous first albums, and you don’t know what they’re doing today. Who’s to say I’ll be an exception to that rule?
I like being in love. I want to be in love, but at this stage of my life, my career is, by far, the most important thing to me. It’s my passion.
Grammys, American Music Awards, successful albums, I’d pick my kids any day over any of it.
Although becoming a singer was my plan A after first hearing Whitney Houston when I was 17, I started off with plan B by going to the teacher-training college that my dad went to. It was a slow coming of age.
But I don’t want to be out there anymore; I don’t want people asking me about my health issues, about my kids. I choose not to be a public paparazzi girl on purpose.
I love my family, I’ll do anything for them.
I’m in love with kid’s stories and animation.
If I’m uncomfortable, you’d never know.
If you break your knee, you have therapy on your knee, and it’s the same for your heart.
I can imagine you touching my private parts. With just the thought of you I can’t help, but touch myself.
All I want is moonlight, with you there inside of me, all night, doing it again and again. You know I want you so bad.
My ideal kinda guy, if I was really gonna go there even though he’s married, is Mark Wahlberg. To me he’s a little black and white, the kinda guy who would understand if I pull my weave out.
I felt that putting my all into the relationship would have taken me away from my career. And I couldn’t do that then.
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.
I let everybody else’s negative energy feed on me a little.
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.
