I want to be really special, I want to be really good. It's not enough to be famous for me. Famous is empty so quickly, it's not what people think it is. It's wonderful, but if you're famous and you feel that you're an artist inside and everyone thinks you're just a celebrity, it's really painful.
My mother was the most creative, fantastic person and would come up with great things for us to do. She'd buy art supplies and all of us would sit around painting. I was lucky.
There's lots of R&B blogs that I like going on and it basically just names new music that isn't out and won't be out for a long time and stuff. It just gives you an insight on what's coming up next and finding out about new artists.
When you sing live, you cannot expect any artist, except for the amazing Beyonce or GaGa, to get it right every time.
I find it so funny how people that don't write the music, and have no involvement in it, can make such huge decisions on behalf of artists.
Mariah, Renee, they really supported me. I think it's because they know how difficult it is to work in the arts, and it's so easy to veer from that path. Life is short, and it's important that we support each other.
I know it sounds weird, but how bad, how hard can dying be?
I can't spell or do grammar, but I'm smarter and more serious than people think. I'm no featherweight when it comes to digging deep and being involved. So many stars I know do so much. It's our duty to give back.
I don't know what else I would be if I wasn't me. I am not looking from the outside, looking back. I am who I am.
Women have to harness their power - its absolutely true. It's just learning not to take the first no. And if you can't go straight ahead, you go around the corner.
Performers love to perform - that's the thing that we do. I think one of the best things was being able to imagine anything that I wanted, anything that I came up with we could do, because this theater is unbelievable.
I can't listen to my own voice, I don't like it. You see all your mistakes when you hear your voice. You see all your imperfections.
Credibility is to be good. You must be good. That's all I ever wanted - to be good at what I did.
I always wanted to be famous because I thought that if I couldn't be good [at something], I'd be famous. I was never really good. I was just something different and I got to be famous for being different.
