Actually, I was a little rejected at first. I kind of got slapped down.
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.
