My son has been the best thing that has happened in my life. He has been amazing, and he is truly heaven-sent. And so, I just feel all that love.

You can either allow social media to be helpful for you or it can be harmful. I like to let it be helpful.

Education is everything - education is your power, education is your way in life for whatever you want to do.

Cute accessories always help bring out your outfit and pull it all together.

Confidence is everything. Confidence is what makes that simple white tee and jeans look good.

Sometimes you have to stop to think, regroup and regather yourself and realize how lucky you are to still be living and to still be breathing and still be able to even have a chance.

If you don't embrace who you are and accept who you are, you won't be able to live a happy life.

I'm a tomboy at heart. I always like to say that I'm an ordinary girl doing extraordinary things.

Whatever you do, have fun while doing it. That's important for me.

Honestly, I feel like everything in life happens for a reason, and my son has been the greatest gift that God has given me in my life and been the most game-changing thing that's happened to my life, in a necessary way.

It's just so cool when you meet people who are different than you are. That can give you a different perspective, a viewpoint on life, or inspire you. I mean, what would the world be like if we were all the same? I think it would be very boring.

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 love shopping! I'm impatient though. I'll go to the mall and in 30 minutes be ready to go.

I like to stay happy, and I like to live life light and make the best of life.

I believe in allowing your child to be who they want to be - as long as they want to be something great.

As we get older, it's important for us to help hand back some of what we've gained as we've grown older. It should be one of your responsibilities - it's almost like being a mentor.

I've had my ups. I've had my downs, but I've been able to push through every obstacle that's been thrown my way.

I want to do what I feel in my soul. My soul won't lead me wrong.

I truly believe that if you put your goals in writing, speak them out loud and work for them, they will happen.

There are some songs where you're like, 'I really like this song,' and it just didn't work out how you thought it would. That's life. You win some, you lose some. You can't dwell on it. I can't be worried about the past.

If a person uses the word 'sorry' loosely then of course it loses its value.

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.'

I have so much respect for athletes like LeBron James. I get motivation from them because I know how many hours they put into it. It takes a lot of hard work and drive.

When you believe in yourself, and you always give 100% in a relationship, you're very confident in the value of your love. But for some people, there's that feeling that the grass is always greener.

I've had purpose because I've always wanted to be successful, but having my son is the cherry on top. He makes me go harder in achieving all that I've dreamed of.

Dancing - however you do it, even if it's in your living room - is a great workout.

My dad's my nanny, so he spends a lot of time with me in L.A. when my mom's in Atlanta.

I think that when you carry a certain kind of energy, if you have, like, a funky energy that you hold within yourself, you just can't grow.

Being a mom has affected me in the greatest way possible - and in a necessary way. Having my son has helped me to be grounded, and I feel like with a child you have to really think about things all the way through.

This digital world is what you make of it in the end.

When I'm on a strict eating regimen, at some point I have to have French fries, a cheeseburger and some pizza. And Oreos and vanilla ice cream!

Everything in life is about timing. I've been able to have my experiences and learn from them and kind of figure out the thing that works for me and is best for me, and that's all I can really say.

My biggest competition is me.

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 inspiration is European fashion. I'm really into Euro fashion, and I also love rock n' roll. That's the mentality that I like to have when I'm dealing with fashion.

I'm not totally innocent, and I do date. But as a young woman, I also demand respect.

Being a mom has changed me forever.

I'm a military baby, so I kind of always see the world as one; we just have different colours, and we're from different places in the world.

I like to oversee what I do, so I have a hand in writing my songs. I also have people there to help me with my vision.

I don't believe in being vengeful or trying to send a message to someone. You waste your energy that way.

In our world, as artists, the only time I'm allowed to express myself is through song.

I use Revlon waterproof mascara. And then I love a smokey eye when I perform because I think it's important to make your eyes pop when you're on stage.

I don't know - I don't listen to the radio that much. I really am an old-soul kind of girl.

Vocally, I'm definitely pushing out more. That feels good. It's very freeing. I've always been very private and consciously private. Now it's kinda like, 'Who cares.' I'm gonna be free and gonna be me. I feel good.

I love when people have their own creative vision, when a person stands out and tries different things.

Real music to me is real; it's what you feel.

When I shop, I only do it when I really have to do it for something. I don't like to try on clothing like that - as much I love looking fly.

You know the best part of being a mom is getting that love. Honestly, you know, my son's love... a child's love is so pure, it just makes you feel so good no matter what.

Being a mom, I am even more inspired to really help make a difference. I can't imagine what it would be like if my child didn't have a meal to eat.

I don't curse when I talk. Unless I'm mad.
