Just because you become a mother, it doesn't mean you lose who you are.
Right now, after giving birth, I really understand the power of my body. I just feel my body means something completely different.
Who I am on stage is very, very different to who I am in real life. But I don't see that having a sexy image when you are on stage means that you don't love God. No one knows what I'm really like from that. I like to walk around with bare feet and I don't like to comb my hair. I'm always so glammed up and so diva on stage and that's what they see. People don't understand that No one knows my personal relationship with God and it's not up to me to prove that to anyone.
I feel more beautiful than I've ever felt because I've given birth. I have never felt so connected, never felt like I had such a purpose on this earth. The best thing about having a daughter is having a true legacy. The word love means something completely different now.
I mean, I feel like you get more bees with honey. But that doesn't mean I don't get frustrated in my life.

At the Billboard Awards my skirt was so tight they had to lift me on stage.
We live in different cities. But we started -- and most people don't know this -- when we were 9 years old. It's been amazing, the things that we've accomplished. There just comes a point where you have to challenge yourself and try new things. ... But we're still best friends.
We're negotiating solo projects for all three of us. They're all going to come out at the same time.
It's great to come home. I am so glad we're having the All-Star Game in Houston. It's such a great city.
There are certain things in there that are unrealistic. But it has worked for me.
