“I am thinking of you in my sleepless solitude tonight.”

The best part of making music, for me, is collaborating and working with new people and fresh sounds and all those things that get people excited to continue in this business that we all love so much.

If you see me as just the princess then you misunderstand who I am and what I have been through.

Only once in a lifetime love rushes in, changing you with the tide.

You can’t live with regrets. It’s about the journey.

If you just believe in me. I will love you endlessly.

See, I’m looking for a man that’ll rub me slow, make me sing real high when he goes down low.

I always felt like the rug could be pulled out from under me at anytime. And coming from a racially mixed background, I always felt like I didn’t really fit in anywhere.

I’m very hard on myself and I have too many issues.

I’m not one of those people that goes into details of my personal life on national TV to get attention. Some things are better left unsaid.

If you believe in yourself enough and know what you want, you’re gonna make it happen.

I’m really fortunate. I’m really happy, and I’m really really lucky to be where I am.

A lot of people are singing about how screwed up the world is, and I don’t think that everybody wants to hear about that all the time.

I think one of the reasons I pushed myself so hard and worked so hard is because I never felt special.

I never thought that I would have love again, but it’s amazing how the universe brings love to you.

Everyday is a holiday with me.

I’m not a subscriber to walking into large corporate entities that I have to walk into and be waiting in line, because then I have to stand there.

I love Christopher Bailey and Burberry, Mulberry for bags, and Hudson for jeans.

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

If you love what you do, and you believe in your talent, there’s nothing better than breaking through. There’s no better feeling than breaking through.

It is the most wonderful feeling in the world, knowing you are loved and wanted.

Entangle me, into your talkative eyes. Let me breathe in, your breath often. For I’m tired of floating, in the shallow waters, when I want to get choked.

I am so sorry; you see, I wanted to love you, but I had to be free.

I hope you’re brave enough to let go of a future that was never truly yours, that you never really wanted that was imposed upon you by dreams that were never really your own.

Don’t be afraid to be deeply alone, aloneness creates stillness, stillness creates healing, healing opens up to love, and in that love the concept of being alone dissolve.
