“When a fan comes up to you and says I love your music, there’s nothing better than that.”

It’s hard to say what I want my legacy to be when I’m long gone.

I don’t think about my previous success. I’m happy that the work I’ve done has been very successful.

All I can do is leave it in God’s hands and hope that my fans feel where I’m coming from.

I’m a total performer.

I don’t want to abandon one work for the other, and I don’t think I need to sacrifice anything to put my all into either one of them.

Keep working hard and you can get anything that you want.

It’s fun to be creative and innovative and come up with something crazy. So I need people to work with who are not going to be afraid to take it to the left a bit.

It’s in how you carry yourself. I’ve always been a very mature person, and I’ve always known what I wanted. And I go after it no matter what.

People are gonna look up to me because I’m young, black, and female.

I began to work the stage and get the audience into it. I also learned how to have fun out there. It is something I will never forget.

I think it’s important to take a break, you know, from the public eye for a while, and give people a chance to miss you. I want longevity. I don’t want to get out there and run myself ragged and spread myself thin.

If you want to go to the mall, you have to take security. But it’s always cool. The kids are amazing.

I know that people think I’m sexy and I am looked at as that. It is cool with me. It’s wonderful to have sexy appeal. If you embrace it, it can be a very beautiful thing.

The Matrix is top secret. There isn’t much that can be said right now.

There is always a bit of pressure to do a good album – to do good work, period. I really put a lot of pressure on myself, more so than other people. But I try not to let that overwhelm me to the point where I can’t even do good work. I just put it aside and do the best that I know that I can.

It’s Friday and I’m ready to swing. Pick up my girls and hit the party scene.

I want to keep my fan base supplied with a steady chain of music.

Never underestimate your fans; they’ll tell you exactly what they like.

There might be some of them that don’t care. To me, it’s important that my fans know how much I appreciate them.

I listen to all kinds of music, but I’ve always been a really big fan of Top 40 radio. If I’m in my car, that’s what I listen to.

I would rather have 100,000 fans for a lifetime than a million for a couple years.

I was a fan of “The Daily Show” I watched it,I never imagined being on it, but I figured I would just go down there and do my best Stephen Colbert impression.

It’s named the Lombardi Trophy for a reason, because we play and live in Titledown. We’ve got the best fans, and I can’t wait to go home and see those fans and bring home the Lombardi Trophy.

All I can do is leave it in God’s hands and hope that my fans feel where I’m coming from.
