Work hard for what you want because it won't come to you without a fight. You have to be strong and courageous and know that you can do anything you put your mind to. If somebody puts you down or criticizes you, just keep on believing in yourself and turn it into something positive.
My life has been a blessing. I'm grateful for everything I do have and the places I'm going and the things I've seen.
Carrying yourself with poise and joy and peace within - that's sexy.
My favorite singer is Lauryn Hill - all time, hands down. She was my biggest inspiration growing up.
I am really into color and bright clothing. When I'm wearing heels, I always like to throw some different colors into my outfit, so it doesn't match. That gives my look a retro and funky feel.
I'm very comfortable in my skin. Everyone has insecurities - I joke around about wishing I had more cheeks - but I'm happy with who I am. You have to make do with what you have. If you carry yourself right, you can make anything look good.
I feel what I feel. If I wanna cry, I'm gonna cry - regardless of who watches me.
I think fame comes from actually doing something big with your career.
You decide the things that ultimately you do. You have choices in this world, and that's how I live.
I just love food, especially my mom's Bulgarian cooking. Taco Bell is my favorite fast food restaurant. I also love Italian food.
When I was seven, I saw 'Sister Act 2,' and I fell in love with the performing aspect of music.
I am a first generation American, and my family is from Bulgaria.
I have a passion for the music - not because of I wanna be in the lights or the money, but it's because it's my life. It's my heart.
Entertaining and being onstage is such a rush; it's amazing... and I just hope that it can last, and last for a long time.
I want to be on stage and perform and win Grammys and help out my family in Bulgaria, because they are struggling, and my mom and dad, too.
I landed gigs touring with The Jonas Brothers and Britney Spears!
I love my mom with all my heart. She's my best friend.
Confidence is a huge turn-on, but I like a man who's also kind and gentle. It's sexy when a guy listens and can have a conversation or read a book - something different than just going out to the club.
I first started to sing when I started to talk. As soon as I could form words and sounds together, I was singing.
I love Whitney Houston, Stevie Wonder, Brandi, Sade, Nat King Cole. I like the Beatles. I listen to a lot of that.
