You live and you learn. My son has given me so much clarity.

I think it takes a lot of confidence to be comfortable in being vulnerable.

I tell myself that water is my medicine and that to stay well, I have to drink a gallon of it every day.

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.

For me, I like old-school rap music. There was a time when music was so, so rich overall, and the content of what people talked about was so deep on every level, song-for-song, pound-for-pound, and on radio, there was so much content. I gravitate more towards that type of music, to be honest.

Being a mom, I can't imagine my child not having a meal. That's hard to digest.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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'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.

Being a mom has changed me forever.

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

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.

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 biggest competition is me.
