I am never satisfied; I always want more. I always want to get better. I always want to climb another step.

People hesitate to follow their desires because they don't know how to divide their soul from their spirit.

The way I dress depends on how I feel. I never have to psych myself up. Usually it just feels like it works.

It's hard to imagine, but we cant think of HIV/AIDS as being somebody else's story. It could be any of ours.

Love is great, love is fine. Out the box, out of line. The affliction of the feeling leaves me wanting more.

So I guess I'm a fool, I'm a fool in love. But I'm willing to stay here, and bask in the glory of his heart.

I'm open to love. But guys should have to earn it. Because the minute they get it, they want something else.

I have several videos on my phone that I’ve never released. Having dance parties in our car, don’t be jealous!

Man down is a song about a girl who has committed a murder that she regrets and is completely remorseful about.

If you sexy and you know it and you ain't afraid to show it. Put a candle on my motherfu*king back baby blow it.

They're gonna keep knocking away until all this comes crashing down. But I'm not gonna ever crash. I'm in control.

I always keep my guard up with guys and I guess that can get in the way sometimes. I can make them go through hell.

My body is weird. I wake up when the sun comes up, and it's hard for me to go to sleep. My thoughts just take over.

Guys need attention. They need that nourishment, that little stroke of the ego that gets them by every now and then.

I love making music. That's what I love to do. So I don't feel like there's any need to take a break unless I want to.

It's easy to make an album full of great songs. But I want people to go for the ride. The songs have to make sense together.

People take the little bit of information they're fed, and they draw a picture of who you are. Most of the time, it's wrong.

All humans are born with the ability to be attracted to both sexes. I mean, I could see myself in a relationship with a girl.

I rarely know exactly what I want to do, but always know exactly how I want it to make me feel. Feeling always leads the sound!

She's Beyoncé, and I'm [Jay-Z's] new protégée. When we see each other we say hi. We're not enemies, but we're not friends friends.

You don't want to live your life and then meet someone. You want to share your life with someone. That's what I'm missing right now.

I just love working with Eminem. He's just one of my favorite rappers, and his lyrics - he's a true poet, and I enjoy that about him.

Spend time with people who know how to use their days well. Just as iron sharpens iron, positive people will inspire you to be positive.

If you're performing music that is not who you are or where you're at, it is painful. It's painful for the performer and for the audience.

I always wanted to do what my brothers were doing. I always wanted to play the games they played and play rough and wear pants and go outside.

When something feels real, you don’t make any apologies for it. When it feels good to you, nothing else matters. Everything else is just noise.

If I cry, it's because I'm very angry and I can't do anything about it because I've run into a dead end. That's when the tears would come down.

To me makeup is a major accessory. It can change an outfit, it can make the outfit, it can be the outfit, and that's why I like to play with it.

People - especially white people - they want me to be a role model just because of the life I lead. The things I say in my songs, they expect it of me.

I find that when I get on stage now, I don't want to perform a lot of my songs because they don't feel like me. So I want to make songs that are timeless.

Dancing was always part of my culture growing up in Barbados. When I shot my 1st video I worked really hard with my choreographer to perfect the routines.

You have to just accept your body. You may not love it all the way, but you just have to be comfortable with it, comfortable with knowing that that's your body.

You the one that I dream about all day. You the one that I think about always. You are the one so I make sure I behave! My love is your love, your love is my love.

I do have a vulnerable side. I think a lot of people have a misperception of me. They only see the tough, defensive, aggressive side. But every woman is vulnerable.

I hate going to the gym and doing it the old-fashioned way. I hate anything that's too straightforward, too routine, too familiar. I get bored really, really quickly.

Oh my God - this is scary and sad all at the same time. I literally dream about buying my own groceries. Swear to God. Because it is something that is real and normal.

I feel like pop stars can't be rock stars anymore because they have to be role models, and it takes the fun out of it for us, because we just want to have fun with art.

People think, because we're young, we aren't complex, but that's not true. We deal with life and love and broken hearts in the same way a woman a few years older might.

I love reading people. I really enjoy watching, observing, and being able to figure out a person, the reason they wore that dress, the reason they smell the way they do.

Even if people don't love it, I made exactly the piece of art that I wanted to make. It's super fearless - which is exactly how I feel right now. I am in a really good place.

I definitely want to go and do some more research. My dad used to make me sit outside on the steps all night long, looking for a UFO flying by and I had to do that for years.

As a young female I think it's important that young people know there's nothing wrong with having fun, nobody is telling us to be square or be boring, but we have to be safe.

People forget that after we get to our hotel rooms at night, we take a shower, we watch TV, eat room service and do normal things. Behind our image, we are still human beings.

I have two main hair people I work with. They're always with me. I'm like, 'I'm bored! I wanna change my hair!' That's the good thing about a weave. You can do whatever with it.

At first, I didn't really use anything in the social network world. I was so anti-social network, which is kind of ironic. I actually first started on a chat room on my fan site.

The most important thing is to be happy and true to yourself. I don't want to look back at this in 30 years from now and say, 'I did it all to make them happy and I didn't enjoy.'

Only one party sticks out in my mind as a kid. It was the best party ever. I was 5 years old, and my mom dressed me up in a church dress and stockings to go to the party and park.

I'm not generally a sensitive person, but I tend to be more sensitive toward others and what they're going through. I don't know if that's the healthiest thing, but it's the truth.

Success for me isn't a destination it's a journey. Everybody's working to get to the top but where is the top? It's all about working harder and getting better and moving up and up.

I always listen to music no matter what I'm doing. Music is definitely always something that drives the mood and creating and helps you lock that in and escape to a whole other world.
