Mom would kill me if I showed my navel.
The hardest part has been maintaining a small head and remaining down to earth. So many people try to make you more than you are.
My daughter, I can't give up because she's watching and she's here and she's waiting for me to be an example. So, between her, myself, and my will, and me pushing myself, that's my inspiration.
I'm going to let people know that it's cool to have a child and be young and still be a good mom. It's really tough, but I'm doing it.
This is truly a blessing. Breyon Prescott, Peter Edge and Tom Corson believe in me and have introduced me to a home that also believes and knows exactly what to do with the type of music I'm doing.
When I was a little girl, I remember carrying my orange UNICEF carton with me as I went Trick-or-Treating.
I was just so honored to play the role of Cinderella and to just be the first African-American princess, that's just historic for me, that's such a mark in my life and my career and then the bonus of just working with my favorite person in the whole world, Whitney [Houston], like her voice just did something to my spirit.
I have so much to talk about. I have so much to share. There are so many different emotions going on inside of me right now.
So when you get a chance to look at things and chill and relax, it makes you want it more, and that's why I'm so happy to be back!
I've been gone for a long time. I really want to give the fans something that they deserve to have. So, I'm working really hard on this. I really want to make it the best work I've done so far.
I'm just going with the flow. I'm in the process, I'm on the path. I'm really working towards all of my goals and music is definitely on the way.
Nothing can stop me from loving my brother.
I cried, I was so overwhelmed to meet Michael Jackson.
I think it's really finding that belief in yourself, where you just have it no matter what's going on, no matter what anyone else says. I think that's the challenge, is to really have that belief in yourself.
