I want to be a poet. I don't want to talk about genies in bottles anymore.
Hurt me to see the pain across my mothers face, every time my father's fist would put her in her place.
Bruises fade father, but the pain remains the same. And I still remember how you kept me so afraid.
I embrace my body, and I embrace everything about myself.
When I'm lost in the rain, In your eyes I know I'll find the light to light my way And when I'm scared, losing ground When my world is going crazy You can turn it all around and when I'm down you're there Pushing me to the top You're always there, giving me all you've got
It's an amazing thing to say, 'I'm beautiful,' without feeling like you're cocky.
It's important to recognize your own self-destructive behavior and be honest about it. You're only hurting yourself or losing out on your truth and happiness. I'm not afraid to face my own personal stuff. It's so important to dig it up and figure it out and move on.
I embrace my body, and I embrace everything about myself. Coming full circle is a celebration of freedom and happiness because that's what [my new album] 'Lotus' is representing. I'm embracing everything that I've grown to be and learned to be.
At this point of my life, I'm 32 and I feel sexier than ever because you know what you want,
I think it's a given that people know what I can do vocally.
I think it's really great when you stand up for something that you really believe, even if you get heat for it.
My parent's divorce and hard times at school, all those things combined to mold me, to make me grow up quicker. And it gave me the drive to pursue my dreams that I wouldn't necessarily have had otherwise.
I remember watching the Grammys and looking at the performances and crying to my mom, saying how much I wanted to be there.
It's amazing how a truly great songwriter can touch anyone in the world with their words.
