The mall is my life.

The more natural, the better.

I'm always smiling and happy.

I don't know how I feel right now.

Music is passionate. It's love for me.

Mom would kill me if I showed my navel.

It feels so great to be back on the scene.

Nothing can stop me from loving my brother.

I think the Grammy is like the award, you know.

I'll be a nun, raise my daughter, and make albums.

I wanna sing about something that's sexy and edgy.

I go to McDonald's every day. But I don't eat much.

I cried, I was so overwhelmed to meet Michael Jackson.

I wrote my own verses. Anything I did, I wrote myself.

I certainly didn't want to date. I was through with guys.

I knew I had to make a sacrifice to do what I've always wanted to do.

I wash my face every night with Ivory soap, and I don't wear much makeup.

It may not be the best in someone else's eyes, but it's the best I can do.

Just staying true to yourself and staying true to your passion. Following your gut.

I've just got to get that album out. I have to get it out, if it's the last thing I do.

You do not send me to Brooklyn to get a cheesecake and then I come back and you're gone.

Now that the baby is coming, I will do a lot more balancing. I'm going to be a real mommy.

'America's Got Talent' has really opened a lot of doors for me. I want to do a lot more TV.

It's VH1, it's everywhere, and you know music is just the world right now. People love music.

Even though designing your own show, that's great, I am nothing without the support around me.

I'm very proud of myself because I have come so close to just giving up and I haven't done that.

I have so much more to go through as a young lady. But oh my God. I feel like I can do anything.

I needed to explore my talent and versatility and see if I had another side to me, another sound.

I've always wanted to be a mom at 23, 24ish, ever since I was a little girl. I'm right on schedule.

Stay true to yourself because it goes a long way. If you don't know who you are, who are you really?

I'm open to different parts. I would love to do something where I can sing and act at the same time.

When I was a little girl, I remember carrying my orange UNICEF carton with me as I went Trick-or-Treating.

I think creativity becomes really beautiful and magical when you allow it to do what it's needing you to do.

I feel like I needed a balance. I don't want to forget about my personal life and spending time with myself.

I'm my biggest inspiration. And I say this in the most humble way. I've been through so much, just in my life.

I went through a struggle, and I really needed to get myself together and connect with my purpose, which is music.

I was rapping as a hobby. It was something I did for my friends and just played around on ideas and stuff like that.

And I'm looking at him like, 'Oh my God. This is Michael Jackson'. I fainted, blacked out - like seriously blacked out.

It's her first grandchild, so she's really, really, really excited. I guess my mom is a little more stressed out than me.

I have so much to talk about. I have so much to share. There are so many different emotions going on inside of me right now.

The hardest part has been maintaining a small head and remaining down to earth. So many people try to make you more than you are.

So when you get a chance to look at things and chill and relax, it makes you want it more, and that's why I'm so happy to be back!

I definitely felt like I needed a break, because when you do so much, you're not able to appreciate the things that you accomplish.

All my favorite stars, my family and my friends are here. I'm having the happiest birthday that an 18-year-old girl could ever have.

I've had to come through a lot and I've made a lot of different mistakes, but I realized that I never gave up. I wanted to so badly.

When you get a chance to step back, you notice all these great things you've done and all these great people that you've worked with.

I'm going to let people know that it's cool to have a child and be young and still be a good mom. It's really tough, but I'm doing it.

There's a lot of people out there who go through hard times, and they feel alone. They feel like nobody is there. But I'm in the same boat.

I don't get into the favorite songs thing, because so many speak to different parts of my life, but the music in the '90s is just unbeatable.

I'm a little bit afraid to give my heart away right now. It's very scary. I'm open to it, but I just want to make sure that I'm taking my time.
