I think, a lot of times, we find ourselves in a relationship where we are on two different pages.

I only serve one God, and I'm only judged by one God.

I love Instagram and Twitter, and I think it's awesome that fans can connect with their favorite artists, but it also gives them a chance in that comment box to say what they really feel about them.

I'm definitely a hopeless romantic.

Being an actress and a singer, you get more 'nos' than you get 'yes.' You get more rejection than you do anything else.

I want somebody else to say, 'Man, that 'Back 2 Life' album got me through. There were songs that really empowered me to get out of my safe zone or to leave that abusive relationship or made me feel confident.'

I created my own little online series, 'Love, Life & Music,' years ago, before reality TV got poppin'. I wanted my fans to see that I wasn't just here sitting on my hands. I'm out here every day, grinding and working.

I can sometimes work out three times a day. I love hot yoga. I enjoy it.

Music has healed me on so many different occasions, and I want my music to be able to do that for someone else.

Especially for my first album, I struggled with even the thought of being a solo artist.

A lot of time, mothers put their kids first, their selves aside, and then there's some moms who are like, 'Look, I'm going to try and balance it all out and still have my personal life.'

I was terrified about putting out 'Weekend.'

I like to eat a whole lot. I have an inner chubby girl, and her name is Mabel, and I feed Mabel a lot. I give her what she wants. If Mabel wants a honey bun, she gets it. If Mabel wants Krispy Kreme, she gets it. If Mabel wants fried chicken or ham hocks, she gets what she wants.

'Used To' is one of my favorite records because of its confident, 'in-your-face' lyrics.

I worked two jobs when I got pregnant. I was doing 'Greenleaf' on weekdays and doing 'Set It Off,' the play, on weekends.

I love Houston music to death.

As far as my personality, my friends and family know I'm crazy! I love to have fun; I'm bubbly. People say I'm funny but I don't know that I'm funny: I don't try to be funny and tell jokes and stuff like that, but I always got something slick to say.

I would love to do something with Gwen Stefani.

I've always believed in staying in a positive frame of mind and allowing God to work and move. It's about having patience.

I trust God's timing. I'm a very spiritual person, and a lot of times, we want things on our time, and we come up with our own plans of what we want to do with our lives, but God be like, 'Haha, you're funny. That's cute. Anyways, this is what you're going to do,' and I've learned to just sit back.

Pincurling is my secret! I wear my hair wavy alot, and so I don't have to use all that excess heat every day trying to curl it; I just pincurl it.

Excellence is not a single act. You are what you repeatedly do.

I still do believe in carrying yourself a certain way, and I do my best to be somewhat of a role model. I'm not a perfect person. I'm a human being. I'm not the Lord, but I do accept that responsibility, and that's why I do try to carry myself with confidence, with poise, with grace, and with class.

People appreciate a confident man. They love a strong man, and when it comes to a woman, I don't know if people just expect women not to speak up for themselves or be weak or just always be the follow-behind, but I'm proud that I'm in a generation of leaders. I'm proud that I'm surrounded by very strong women.
