I caught a lot of flak for being a young mama.

My lips are big, but my talent is bigger.

Have a little faith. Don't give up.

I always say you've only got one life to live, and you're not promised a tomorrow. So, you might as well just have a good time with it.

I like to play dress up, I'm in love with fashion.

I been through some things but I worked hard to get to where I'm at.

I'm very soulful. I grew up singing in church. When I sing a song, I like to feel what I'm singing.

Sometimes you have to lose to win again.

I seemed so different from other kids; I grew up in church and felt a connection with God, and a lot of kids my age really didn't understand that.

When I'm out on the stage, it gives me this rush and anything that's on my mind and everything I'm going through is forgotten about.

It's always good when you can bring two artists together who are totally different.

Build my night with your cheeks.

Art has one purpose, that is to leave you changed. Love has one purpose, that is to create art.

You are my shooting star, and I always make a wish every time I see you.

I could have been an architect, but I don't think I'd have been very happy. Nearly all modern architecture is a silly game as far as I can see.

Fatherhood is the most amazing thing that could ever have happened in my life.

Morality is a human creation. The Universe does not judge.

I believe God will fight my battles for me.

I'd say that golf is about 75% mental. If your state of mind gets out of kilter, you're worse off than a tomcat floating on a log.

Heaven - the treasury of everlasting life.
