My mom is one of those women... she don't take no mess. She is very vocal about what she wants and what she doesn't want.
My mom and I don't have a lot of photos of my early years.
I actually have two songs I did with Nicki Minaj. We didn't even plan on doing it that way, but it was an organic connection and just a really solid connection she and I had musically.
Having a child with someone, you're always going to be respectful of that. But the song 'I Bet' was honestly inspired by my life experiences - I can't just say it's from one experience.
I think 'One Woman Army' sums up the overall picture. I talk about love, about life, and I talk about what I want and would hope for and what I need as a woman. It kind of just says it all, you know?
I tell myself that water is my medicine and that to stay well, I have to drink a gallon of it every day.
I wasn't a big fan of Instagram at first. I felt it was watering down the way music is perceived 'cause it made things seem more normal.
You can either allow social media to be helpful for you or it can be harmful. I like to let it be helpful.
You live and you learn. My son has given me so much clarity.
You know those days when you think you have to have a plate of pasta right now? When I'm trying to be good, I take a minute to ask myself, 'Do you really need to eat all this crazy stuff? It will still be around if you want it later.'
Juggling being a mom and an entertainer is a challenge I face every day.
I'm such a perfectionist. I can be like, 'This has to be like this. And this, and this and this.' But then you realize a lot of things that you thought mattered, they really don't matter.
I think cool moments like winning a Grammy deserve a nice little party where you really soak it in and not have to work and stuff. I do remember throwing a party on that Grammy night, but it was work.
I believe a person's style is an expression of who you are - way more than dancing.
