I started crying, because there's nothing like hearing that the artist who originally did the song likes your version.
I love finding new talent, to be completely honest, and my opportunity that I got to do 'X Factor U.K.' was just incredible. I will never forget it.
I ain't gonna get this, it's a horror movie, it's hard to act scared.
When you want something bad enough, you work your butt off for it.
You know how the Beatles broke off - they all did their solo projects and they came back together and they were even stronger!
You're only as strong as your weakest member; you're only as positive as your most negative friend
I wear men's cologne - it gets the fellas!
I'm from the South - I love to eat, and that's why I have to exercise.
I went to a predominantly white school, and I was the only black girl. I can remember thinking, 'I don't want to be as dark as I am - I want to be a little fairer.' I didn't want to be me.
One thing that I had to remember in my personal journey in the music industry and coming up in the music industry was how many times I was told no. I was signed, I was dropped, I was signed, and I was put on a shelf.
Sometimes dirty can come off really cute or come off 'I don't even want you to touch me.'
When it comes to racial issues, I'm very passionate about young girls just loving who they are in their own skin. Because I remember going to an all-white school and being the only black girl in an all-white school, think - looking around me, thinking there's no one else here that looks like me.
I never know when chat-up lines are happening! I don't hear them enough. I don't get hit on enough.
I would never go blonde. I'd look crazy.
