I was supposed to be in my trailer getting a touch-up, which I desperately needed, but I had to come out and see Mary, ... I was so proud and happy for her that she was receiving the legend award because she's a true person and real artist.
Music is what I love and it's what I feel and it's in me and to know that I can do something that I enjoy and hopefully bring some enjoyment to other people through what I do is an incrediable felling and I am just really thankfull for it.
I used to play poker with my sister. But I think my low-cut dress put some of the guys off.
Thank you so much for the warmth and the love,
I don't mind being compared to Whitney, there are people miles worse to be compared to.
But I think I'm a nice friend and a good person, and I try to do my work as best I can.
I am very insecure about my looks, and I always have been because of being mixed race.
This is an incredible night. I never expected to be standing here.

This has been the biggest and most successful year of my life.
