I just think it's silly to be stingy with compliments. If you see someone and they strike you as beautiful in any way, why not let them know?

I love foods that start in my cheeks and then vibrate up.

I was reared in a Jehovah's Witness household. I was taught that every man should be judged by his deeds and not his color, and I firmly stand where my grandmother left me.

If I feel really ugly or unhappy, sometimes I'll choose bright colors so they'll make me feel good. Yellows, pinks, light blues and orange. I just want to feel good all the time if I can. And colors and hairstyles and all that kind of helps out.

I like a man who smells good. Puts on cologne; lotions his body. It keeps me wanting. I like feeling that way.

Soul music is about longevity and reaching and touching people on a human level - and that's never going to get lost.

I'm going to do as much as I can with this life, and then I'm going to make sure to take some time off and be simple and ride my bike and hang out with friends.

For me, hair is an accoutrement. Hair is jewelry. It's an accessory.

Common is one of the nicest people I've ever met, and to describe him as a vile rapper because he has an opinion... just says a lot about the state of America. You are allowed to have an opinion in the United States - he's never harmed anybody, he just has an opinion about a president that wasn't good for our country.

If you can't help me grow, there's no point with you being in my life.

I don't feel like I've changed as much as radio formats have changed.

I would love to write more children's books. There is such a high standard out there for children's books; there are really amazing writers. It is a fantastic creative outlet and such an amazing teaching tool. The thing I love about kids, too, is it is so imaginative and poetic.

I love touring - I don't do it as often as I should.

It's really fun to see young kids trying to find excellence in themselves.

I think being raised spending so much time outdoors was really important - while you're in it, you might not know, but now I think of the things I was thankful for.

There's no wrong you can't make right again, so be kinder to yourself; you know, have fun, take chances. Those bounds.

I'm trying to be in the moment and really enjoy my pregnancy. I feel really lucky.

I think family mealtime is really important. There's a lot of research that shows kids are going to do better in school and have more self-esteem if you can all sit down and eat together.

I moved out of home when I was 15.

I consider myself a product of Alaska. The love and the debt that I feel to my home state - you always want your hometown to be the proudest of you, and so it's heartbreaking to hear people say snarky things.

I never found much comfort in overly organized religion of any sort.

I enjoy hard work; I love setting goals and achieving them.

I've always been a workhorse, and I've been supporting myself since I was 15.

I'm not a partygoer.
