I was bred and raised in a multi-cultural music background.

I'm still a, you know, a silly girl... a big kid.

I myself never feel that I'm sexy. If people call me cute, I am happier.

When I work, I work. I don't think about anything else. I just wanna get the work done. And I'm a perfectionist.

People have to respect intellectual property.

My mom was very strict when I was growing up. I could not talk to boys until I was 18. I had to study and work hard.

I love to prove people wrong. They expect I'll sound a certain way when they see me, then they hear me and they can't believe it. I love that.

They cannot imagine what I'll sound like. But always when I'm done singing, people are very surprised.

I really idolize everything my sisters do,so I went into singing contests and won also. That's how I really got into singing.

I'm not a businessperson. I have no sense of money. My mom does everything for me. She makes all my decisions for me, and even buys my clothes. She's very protective.

I'm sporty, active, bubbly, I like to make people laugh... I'm the jokester. But I'm also very traditional.

People always fear what they don't understand, Evangeline. History proves that.

A conflict begins and ends in the hearts and minds of people, not in the hilltops.

I am no bird and no net ensnares me

I am breathing in and out. Realizing this, I began to notice that each moment was not without its beauty.

No wonder the creationists don't believe the darwinian account.

I am going to stop calling you a white man and I'm going to ask you to stop calling me a black man.

I can't wait to front my band with these new songs and play for fans, but I've decided to keep my day job too.

I soon learned that Everest wasn't a private affair. It belonged to many men.

We are stripped bare by the curse of plenty.

Sometimes people have nothing to say because they're too empty. And sometimes people have nothing to say because they're too full.
