We all have different things that we go through in our everyday life, and it's really important to know just at the end of the day, it doesn't matter what you face, you know, that you're going to win at the end of the day. You got to believe in yourself. You got to believe in God, know that He's going to get you through it.
Never give up on your dream... because you never know what the Lord can bless you with.
Don't look at someone else and want to be them. Search within yourself and find out who you are and be someone positive.
If you don't know your worth, if you don't know your value, if you don't know how fantabulous you are - it's going to be hard for other people to see it. Being appreciative of self is beauty to me.
Judge me if you want to. And as a matter of fact, it won't even count, 'cause the only person who can judge is God.
I'm in love with wigs. I get them custom-made, and I have my hairstylist shape them to my head. I can go from short to long in less than a minute!
Self-reflection is so healthy. Journaling works for me - when I record the details of what I'm going through, whether it's a relationship issue or negative thoughts, I can look back and see how far I've come. It makes me proud to see my progress and how I got through a bad situation.
I'm kind of a germ freak. When I get on a plane, I spray my seat and everything with Lysol Disinfectant Spray.
I'm careful with my heart. I don't take crap from no one these days. I put my foot down. Being a woman, you deserve heaven and earth.
I just love clothes! I'm a girl who loves clothes, accessories, shoes, bags and jewelry.
I would never become a size zero. I work out because I want to look good naked, simple as that.
Coming into the music industry, even when I was a kid, one thing I learned is timing is everything. You being prepared is everything.
We all come to the point where it's time to get yourself straight, as a businesswoman, a mother, whatever you are in life. It's tough love but it's also being real with yourself. It's important to take those rose-coloured glasses off and see what's going on.
For a long time I wasn't happy, but that had nothing to do with Beyonce. That had to do with me trying to get my life in order and make better decisions for myself. I'm seeing all these wonderful things happen for her, and I am happy for her. But I want a path. I want things to pop off for me, too.
If you have a pair of shoes that hurt, don't wear them. The ugliest thing that I think I've seen is a woman walk like her feet hurt. It's awful, so make sure your shoes fit.
Sometimes dirty can come off really cute or come off 'I don't even want you to touch me.'
If I think I'm going to get into trouble I always say that I'm sick.
I always hope that my music can inspire someone, the same way other artists inspire me.
I remember I went through a period where I didn't embrace my 'chocolatiness.' I don't know if that's a word, but I didn't embrace my chocolate lifestyle. Just being a chocolate, lovely brown skin girl and being proud of that.
I love food so much, all I have to do is look at it and I gain 5 pounds.
