I don't use a lot of heat on my hair.

I love cleaning and hanging things up!

People love drama. They feed off of it.

I like real people. I like real things.

I am not afraid of being alone and single.

I'm a real person. You can ask anybody who knows me.

I only serve one God, and I'm only judged by one God.

If someone offered me a movie, I will take your script.

My father was a minister, so I was raised in the church.

Excellence is not a single act. You are what you repeatedly do.

With any relationship that you have, don't lose yourself in it.

I'm really just expressing myself in every different stage of my life.

I'm thankful that l I have an amazing family, black women that raised me.

Never ignore your intuition about friendships and people's intentions towards you.

Especially for my first album, I struggled with even the thought of being a solo artist.

It's very important to have that prayer life. It's very important to communicate always.

There's nothing more attractive than a woman who's humble but knows what she can bring to the table.

I'm like an international girl all day long. But I love the black women in my life: my grandmother, my mom.

My parents got divorced when I was about ten years old, but I saw my mom go work two and three jobs to make sure we didn't miss a beat.
