I've never tried pot; I've never tried anything.
MTV was completely unaware of it. It was not my intention that it go as far as it did. I apologize to anyone offended -- including the audience, MTV, CBS and the NFL.
I am the baby in the family, and I always will be. I am actually very happy to have that position. But I still get teased. I don't mind that.
I was very independent growing up, but there were things that were bothering me that I never told anybody. I would talk to our animals at home.
Just like Marilyn Monroe is a lot of girls' idol, that's how I feel about Dorothy Dandridge. And she any Marilyn were very close friends. She went through a lot, and people told her that she couldn't do certain things, but she didn't let that bother her. She said in her mind that she was going to do them and that nothing was impossible, and she did it. It was so sad... She died from drugs, and drinking as well.
You get yourself up for it somehow, and your endurance and the crowd gets you up, too.
In complete darkness we are all the same, it is only our knowledge and wisdom that separates us, don't let your eyes deceive you.
There are people that regardless of what it is, if it's something that's stressful, whatever it may be, they don't eat, they lose a lot of weight, a divorce, they get real thin. I'm the opposite.
I like to read. Autobiographies.
I think it's been a little difficult at times for the audience, because they've told me they see me as a family member. So to see your little sister sing about sex... I think they are pretty used to it now.
It is my belief that we all have the need to feel special. It is this need that can bring out the best in us, yet the worst in us.
The greatest achievement to any human being is to love God, yourself, and others.
I still have certain goals that I want. Grammies... Other awards... an Oscar one day...
Competition is great. And as long as it's friendly and not a malicious thing, then I think it's cool.
