Since I'm always working, my best holiday memories are definitely when I can just go home and spend time with my family.

My mother taught me to treat a lady respectfully.

My first album was me finding myself and my voice, finding how I sing. I was rolling with the punches because everything was new to me.

My best kiss was on stage. Kelly Rowland from Destiny's Child gave me a really nice soft kiss on my lips during a performance on my birthday. It was amazing.

Loving is doing anything for them, thinking about them constantly and being able to spend your whole life with that person. Liking somebody is just like, 'Okay, I like them because of this, this and this, but I don't knkow if I am ready to be in love with them'.

I didn't understand that I could sing until I was like 11 or 12. My mom heard me singing around the house and she said, What are you doing? You really can sing! So then I started going to school and singing to the girls.

I always imagined I could be what I wanted to be.

Having the right people around you all the time is important. I do take the acting seriously. But this is all fun. I look at it like smoke and mirrors. I still think it's a dream, but I ain't pinching myself yet.

Haters keep on hating, cause somebody's gotta do it.

Follow your dreams. Just make sure to have fun too.
