Believe it or not, I thank my mom for how she raised me in a neighborhood where I had to jump and chase daily. It only made me what I am today.

There has to be chemistry in a duet, but if you go beyond the point of friendship and attraction, you lose something.

Whatever your standing in life, the most important thing is behaving in ways that help other people. It's the same with music. I am a servant of the music ... and if I get caught up in ego, I'll lose everything .. it'll burn and that's a guarantee.

I'm thankful for the sea breeze that feels so good right now, and the scent of jasmine when the sun starts going down.

I'm going to be a star, you know why? Because I have nothing left to lose.

O Lord that lends me life, Lend me a heart replete with thankfulness!
