I always call my cousin because we’re so close. We’re almost like sisters, and we’re also close because our mom’s are sisters.
Never doubt yourself. Never change who you are. Don’t care what people think and just go for it.
I think God has plans for everyone, and I’m just thankful this is his plan for me.
You think I’m in love, that I’m sent from above, I’m not that innocent.
I have no regrets. I find everything happens for a reason and the reason why maybe this is happening is I won’t take BS from anyone. And I think it’s making me stand out on my own and be very independent and fight for what I believe in.
I don’t see myself as an icon, because I just wear whatever I want to wear.
I’m a mother! So I am more conscious of what I wear. Because when I was younger I would wear just about anything – and I would always show my belly. I mean, I still do that now when I perform, but it’s just done more in a tasteful manner.
I think it’s important to set up that boundary of respect for your kids at a young age, so they will know, I better listen to Mommy.
A lot of the clothes out are very adult-driven and it would be cool if they were a little bit more fun and trendy. Clothes should be fun.
I notice that if there are some times I’ve been stressed, because I’m human and stress about things, that affects your kids. So you have to make sure you’re a happy mom so they can be happy.
I’m actually a huge fan of hip-hop. I like hip-hop music. I love rap. I like cabaret music, as well. I just love live music and bands.
Whatever I put on – if I’m feeling trendy or if I’m feeling sexy – my clothes definitely represent who I am at the time.
I definitely like to go out and dance. I’m a big vibe person when it comes to music so a song really has to make me feel a certain way in order for me to fall in love with it.
I have always been heavily involved in every album I have ever made. I’m very stubborn when it comes to recording and will only record songs I love, which is why it takes me a long time to make an album.
I have to feel connected before I record and the song has to spark something inside me. Very few songs do that. I guess it’s a good process because I love all of my music.
I just sing what I’m feeling at the time and hope my fans will like that and appreciate that.
As a mother, the one thing that always goes through your head is, You’re never enough. You never can be enough – or do enough – for your kids. It’s a never-ending issue for me.
I’m pretty normal. Tthe type of day I love is just like everybody else’s. I’m like everybody else.
Whereas before I was a young, blonde girl who would do what she was told. I know who I am as a person and I’m getting damn strong.
I don’t like going out. I hate clubs. I hate being around too many people. I love my home and staying in bed and watching Dancing With the Stars or reading a Danielle Steel novel. I’m kind of boring.
There’s only two types of people in the world: the ones that entertain, and the ones that observe.
