“There are days I’m feeling lazy, and my mom will remind me, ‘Beyonce also only has 24 hours during the day.’ That always keeps me going.”

Coffee is my water now.

I figured, ‘Why not go into entertainment?’ I love entertaining people. I always loved being extra loud.

Honestly, are we ever going to get over ‘California Girls’ by Katy Perry? I know it’s old, but that song – I love that song!

I don’t know about you, but I love going on trips – especially with my family.

I love having my hoop earrings. Just regular gold hoops.

When I was nine years old, my family lost our home, and the six of us moved into my grandparents’ converted garage.

I would love to have my own fashion line because I love sketching.

Even though I know who I am, musically I’m a blank canvas. I know what colors I want to use, but I don’t know what picture I want to paint yet.

I have fun when I’m making music, and I want people to have fun when they listen to it.

I always tell people, ‘Coming from such a big Mexican family when there’s a new baby every three weeks, you have to do something to get someone’s attention.’

People may not know this about me, but I’ve always loved cooking. My favorite thing to cook is my mom’s spicy spaghetti.

I love big summer dresses, and it sucks because I’m such a little person, so I always have to be very specific about which ones I put on.

I love people who dress how they feel and change it depending on the day.

For me, my number one Hollywood role model is Jennifer Lopez.

Growing up, my family struggled to make ends meet, so I know how important organizations like The Salvation Army are for families to lean on in times of need.

I’ll never forget one time a fan came up to me crying, and told me, ‘You really inspire me to be me. I feel OK to be myself now.’

Embarrassment is the worst! It’s the feeling of having your entire body go numb and not knowning what to do with yourself for that one moment

The only pressure I feel is how I can contribute to help my team win the match. Of course, there is always the pressure to score, but then doesn’t it eventually help your team win? Frankly, I don’t let these things affect me.

I just want to write fun, interesting music that pushes boundaries and is still true to myself. I want people to feel something.

When I got the red card all the Chelsea players come around. It felt like I had a lot of babies around me.

It is always nice when you are honoured. The Lifetime award makes me feel old. I am only 55.

I feel that entertainment happens when fact and fiction is balanced.

I am completely a loner. In my head I want to feel I can be anywhere. There is a sort of recklessness that being a loner allows me.

My mama couldn’t give me what I wanted. I had all right clothes, but the people I was with had better clothes. I felt that I had to have better clothes.
