“What do I think of myself? I know my worth. I know my value. I know I have to lead by example. I can’t just be all over the place. I put the energy out that I want given back to me. And again, I’m true to me.”

I needed to explore my talent and versatility and see if I had another side to me, another sound.

My daughter hasn’t seen me with anybody in five years. I’m very, very selective when it comes to that because I want to make sure that it’s real. I don’t want her to see me with just anybody because she means everything to me.

The idea of kids helping other kids is such a great way to introduce children to being involved in charitable causes and volunteer work, setting them on the path to doing good for others throughout their lives.

I think the Grammy is like the award, you know.

Nothing can stop me from loving my brother.

I have so much to talk about. I have so much to share. There are so many different emotions going on inside of me right now.

It’s VH1, it’s everywhere, and you know music is just the world right now. People love music.

To be on this set today, I feel very blessed for the second chance and for the opportunity, my record company believing in me and everybody here just showing me so much love and support.

All my favorite stars, my family and my friends are here. I’m having the happiest birthday that an 18-year-old girl could ever have.

I’m my biggest inspiration. And I say this in the most humble way. I’ve been through so much, just in my life.

I’m open to different parts. I would love to do something where I can sing and act at the same time.

My daughter, I can’t give up because she’s watching and she’s here and she’s waiting for me to be an example. So, between her, myself, and my will, and me pushing myself, that’s my inspiration.

I can take $15,000 a year and raise kids on that. Later, they’ll figure out I’ve got millions, but hopefully they’ll have the values to say, ‘So what?

Without your right to have money that holds it’s value, all else just fails because you don’t have any real money.

Your value depends on what you make of yourself. Make the most of yourself for that is all there is of you.

When values are deeply embedded within an organization, they seldom change.

There’s something about valuing people not because they value you, but because you can see God in them.

I learned early on the value and the power of music to inspire and to drive me.

The physical manifestation of gold is nothing more than the physical manifestation of value itself.

I have never compromised on fundamentals. I’ve always believed in focusing on creating value and not valuation.
