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 don't know how I feel right now.
It may not be the best in someone else's eyes, but it's the best I can do.
You do not send me to Brooklyn to get a cheesecake and then I come back and you're gone.
I go to McDonald's every day. But I don't eat much.
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.
When I was 17, my producer Rodney Jerkins was working with Michael Jackson at the time. He knew how much I wanted to meet Michael Jackson, so he says, 'Would you like to come and meet him?' I'm like, 'Are you serious? Of course I want to meet Michael Jackson! Where do I meet you? Where do we come?'
I feel like I needed a balance. I don't want to forget about my personal life and spending time with myself.
I just feel my sexuality is private. I'm very shy about being sexy. That part of me has been so closed to the public eye. I've sold millions of records with my clothes on.
Your children can be around you all day, but if you don't spend quality time with them and you don't pay attention to them and talk to them and listen to them, it doesn't matter that they're just around you.
When you get a chance to step back, you notice all these great things you've done and all these great people that you've worked with.
It's VH1, it's everywhere, and you know music is just the world right now. People love music.
It's her first grandchild, so she's really, really, really excited. I guess my mom is a little more stressed out than me.
I needed to explore my talent and versatility and see if I had another side to me, another sound.
I knew I had to make a sacrifice to do what I've always wanted to do.
When you fall in love, you wanna share it with people but you know there are some things that you need to keep to yourself, 'cause privacy makes things last longer, I feel.
Now that the baby is coming, I will do a lot more balancing. I'm going to be a real mommy.
I'll be a nun, raise my daughter, and make albums.
Music is passionate. It's love for me.
I certainly didn't want to date. I was through with guys.
