I had lost my way for some time, so I need to do things that I am happy with. It's not about being the number one heroine or money. It's about doing roles that I enjoy. My biggest ambition is happiness.
Am I R&B because I'm black? Am I pop because I have a song called 'Milkshake'? Or can I just be who the hell I am? Good Lord, people make it seem like we're doing heart transplants here, but we're just making music!
It's interesting when you've been a partner with someone for so long. So now to sing solo and starting all over again I am learning that I am more bodacious than I thought. I don't know where it's coming from but I am glad.
I am motivated to write because it is what I am meant to do. It is not a choice - it is what I am. I did not choose writing - it chose me. And I believe it is necessarily that way. Anyone doing this for some other reason should not be.

I don't talk with everybody because i am not everybody, i am single.
Old people are scary. And I have to face it. I am old and I am scary.
I am the seeker of love, I am the giver of love, and I became the love.
I have won many awards and I am very happy about this, but I am not the best player in the world.
I am not concerned that I am not known; I seek to be worthy to be known.

I am who I am. I can't pretend to be somebody who makes $25,000 a year.
I am an observer, I like to watch people. I am into psychology and people - how they act and such.
I went through a lot of phases and studied many religions. I am not into religion, I am spiritual.
