It becomes obvious when people are sincere in their criticism and when they're not. I've learned over time that people will always have something to say.
You hear women talk about it all the time, like when you turn thirty, 'That's when it all came together for me, girl.' Honestly, that's what I feel.
Before I had a child, I had goals. And I still have to accomplish those goals, but now that I have a child, I have more goals to accomplish. So I can't waste time.
My dad's my nanny, so he spends a lot of time with me in L.A. when my mom's in Atlanta.
You're only a new artist one time, and I can just say I'm so blessed. I feel so inspired to do other things, to be so much more.
In our world, as artists, the only time I'm allowed to express myself is through song.
As long as I know that I give my best every time, I can sleep well knowing that.
For me, I like old-school rap music. There was a time when music was so, so rich overall, and the content of what people talked about was so deep on every level, song-for-song, pound-for-pound, and on radio, there was so much content. I gravitate more towards that type of music, to be honest.
'Big Time Rush' was a great show, and I had some great experiences. It allowed me to become more of a comedic actress, which is also a great skill to have. But there wasn't a whole lot of tragedy in there. Not quite as dark as 'Red Band Society.' So I've been very lucky to have been able to grow in that sense, just through moving to FOX.
I think it's so fun when I get to work with women writers in particular because we really understand the core story or foundation as women. That's so important to me that the authenticity is there, you know, from the place that I speak from for my women. Having other females with me helps me dig deeper.
I think cool moments like winning a Grammy deserve a nice little party where you really soak it in and not have to work and stuff. I do remember throwing a party on that Grammy night, but it was work.
I tell myself that water is my medicine and that to stay well, I have to drink a gallon of it every day.
Juggling being a mom and an entertainer is a challenge I face every day.
You can either allow social media to be helpful for you or it can be harmful. I like to let it be helpful.
