“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 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.

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.

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’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.

We’re evolving as a culture as well and as more equality gets supplanted in society, well, in the U.S. anyway, it’s only helping women. We do have much more work to do though, in spreading awareness about where we fall short in our culture and in other cultures.

In American Society today, we need to have volunteerism. I truly believe that it is the glue that will hold us together and it will be the energy that will take us into the 21st century.

You try to do something every single day that will help an American or maybe someone overseas.

Regular practise of yoga can help you face the turmoil of life with steadiness and stability

I can’t help but note that God is being useful to a lot of people trying to do harm to one another.

Fire will attract more attention than any other cry for help.

The ideal of helping is to make others independent of you. You help them to become more independent rather than making them addicted to you.

Maybe it will all become one big thing, with smart, talented people who love a thing, helping each other be better.
