I've always been really good with my heels. Even pregnant, I could perform in heels.
One day I hope to open a shelter of my own. I think it's really important to share my own story with women who've been abused, because going through that experience has led me to where I am today: It's given me the strength and motivation to be the best that I can be.
To the sky, I rise / Spread my wings, and fly / I leave the past behind / And say goodbye to the scared child inside / I sing for freedom, and for love / I look at my reflection / Embrace the woman I've become / The unbreakable lotus in me / I now set free
Being a working mother is not easy, but I think it helps you choose what's important in your life. If I think about starting a new project - whether it be music, a movie or a fragrance - I always stop and think: Is this something I feel really passionate about? That way, if I'm not at home at least it's for something I really love, and my son can look up to that.
I try to stay focused on my creativity.
We have something called naked Sundays ... You have to keep marriage alive, spice it up ... We don't need to go anywhere, we're just with each other. We do everything naked. We cook naked.
The female body is something that's so beautiful. I wish women would be proud of their bodies and not diss other women for being proud of theirs.
I got along better with the guys than with the girls. Only two girls came up to talk to me. Later I found out they were telling their boyfriends, 'If you talk to her, I'll kill you.' It's always rough with that high school thing.
He's the one guy I can credit for making me think about marriage in a whole new light, because every guy I've had in my life has either lied or cheated me financially or business-wise, or taken advantaged of me.
My elementary school days were miserable. After Star Search, the jealousy got really bad that our neighbors slashed our tires.
I'm a bit of a night owl because that's when I feel the most creative and alive.
You’ve got me feeling like you’re that something I’ve been missing.
I like to be as free as possible at all times.
I turned to music originally because of my past and needing a release or an outlet to get out anger or frustration or hurt.
To be given the opportunity to help shape new artists' careers and mentor them to see their dreams come to fruition is a task I welcome with open arms.
At this point of my life, I'm 32 and I feel sexier than ever because you know what you want.
I'm experimental by nature... always exploring my creativity.
I was never into the boy crazy thing because I was very focused on my career.
I don't weigh myself - it's all about how I feel in my clothes.
Some people are afraid of change and [feel] that getting older is a bad thing, but I really love maturing and gaining wisdom, and the experience of being pregnant and having a child and seeing what a woman's body can do is amazing.
I definitely love women. They are more attractive to the naked eye.
Whether you like me, or hate me, this is me.
In order to effect great change, we need to look at how we can help those in our own communities as well as globally.
I think it's really great when you stand up for something that you really believe, even if you get heat for it.
There is no truth to the rumors that we hate each other. I have no ill feeling for [Britney Spears] and vice versa. I am proud of all the achievements she has made in her career, she is a very hard-working person. I have nothing but love for her.
