“But this is Miami, you can’t come to Miami and not show any skin. You gotta show something. If you’re all covered up in this heat, you’re gonna make me pass out out just to look at you. It’s sweaty in Miami – but the diamonds will keep me cool.”

I am honored and quite proud that a class is being taught on my sensationalist lyrics, unique style and fashion and leadership role within the hip-hop community.

I really want people to understand that nobody is perfect and that things happen in life beyond our control.

There are some people who still don’t understand. But I know by the end of my fulfillment they will.

Can’t wait to show my girls he sucked the piss out of my pussy.

I’ma make sure the family keep a decent meal, no matter what I got to do or who I got to kill.

I am blessed to have so many great things in my life – family, friends and God. All will be in my thoughts daily.

I feel money is power in certain senses. A lot of women out there are just givin’ it away. And then there are the women that’re selling their bodies. But they chose to do that. But this is how they make their money. And I don’t see anything wrong with that.

I think, when you’re great, not everyone’s going to give you your props, and you can’t really worry about that. In my eyes, I’m still climbing. I’m still taking myself to the next levels in my career, and that’s fine with me. When it’s time for my rewards, I will get them.

I haven’t had sex in eight months. To be honest, I now prefer to go bowling.

I know I always say my occupation is not dancing, but dancing is in my heart, dancing makes me feel good.

When you find someone loyal cherish them because the word loyal is extinct, it doesn’t exist anymore.

I’m older, and I wish that a lot of things that I did in my life, I didn’t do, but I’m able to talk about it.

I want all my friends, family and fans to know that I am in good spirits and I will be fine.

In the beginning, yes I did go back… (but) I learned that if it’s continued abusive, you just can’t stay there. When guys are young, they make mistakes. Nobody’s perfect, but, if they do it more than once, then it’s definitely a habit

Today begins a new saga in my life which I expect to strengthen me and allow me time for reflection. I plan to write music while in prison, read and pray regularly and will come out a stronger, more confident woman.

It was a very emotional dinner. Everyone shared personal stories about her and gave her words of encouragement and inspiration. Everyone tried to remain positive.

Whitewashing the pump won’t make the water pure.

Show me an example of perfection and I will show you a lie.

Small changes often appear to make no difference until you cross a critical threshold. The most powerful outcomes of any compounding process are delayed. You need to be patient.

You know I won’t be no stick-figure, silicone Barbie doll.

When you create a basic budget and stick to it, it will suddenly seem like you have more money.

I feel more confident if my makeup looks good.

I’m cute – and God I hate that. Because that’s not cool. I’m like your niece, and nobody wants to date their niece. It’s the chubby cheeks. The whole reason people voted for me on American Idol is because I’m an everyday, normal girl.

Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church.
