It took a long while for me to know that I'm beautiful. I remember going through this phase when I was younger of wanting to pass by mirrors and not look at them. That was so ridiculous. I've learned now that beauty starts from within.
When you want something bad enough, you work your butt off for it.
I had to work 10 times harder. People expect so much of you, because they want to see if you can strive and stand on your own.
Don't look at someone else and want to be them. Search within yourself and find out who you are and be someone positive.
Right now, this is definitely the final tour and the final album. We have made a decision, ... And, maybe, we might wake up 10 years from now and we might want to do an album. Or we might wake up three years or five years from now and say, 'Y'all feel like doing another album?' What people don't realize is that we are still only 24 or 25 years old.
For right now, it really is the end, ... Hopefully in 10 years we'll all be married and have babies.
I was really surprised to see my name on the Hermann Trophy watch list, ... I am excited. It is such a prestigious award and I hope I can live up to the expectations of being associated with that group of players.

We want you all to know how much we love you guys. You've made all of our dreams come true.
We have so many funny moments, like bringing guys up in different cities during 'Cater 2 U. There's a performance with myself and Nelly. We let you backstage, like right before we go up the lift. We wanted everybody to be able to see what goes on behind the scenes.
I made a stamp with Destiny's Child. We made a stamp together, above anything. And making a stamp on my own, I'm very proud.
