I'm actually very loyal, to my detriment.
I definitely feel more complete than before. There's a void you have when you don't feel you've found the other part of who you are, so I'm in a different place now and that's nice to experience.
Never, never listen to anybody that try to discourage you.
This is for all of you out there tonight, reaching for a dream - don't ever give up! Never ever listen to anyone, when they try to discourage you, because they do that, believe me!
I do not think I reinvent myself. Wearing my hair differently or changing my style of dress is playing dress-up. I don't take it too seriously.
I'd rather be onstage with a pig - a duet with Jennifer Lopez and me just ain't going to happen.
There is a light at the end of the tunnel... hopefully its not a freight train!
I think I have to remain eternally oblivious to age. Honestly, when you put a number on it yourself, it's just like, Why? Why do that?
My fans have made all my career moments special for me. They are the ones that have gotten me through every single thing - good times and bad, they are who I go to and lean on. I am very thankful for that.
I used to be able to slim down just by exercising more, but that's changed.
I'm actually a really good cook, and people don't believe this about me!
I work myself into the ground. But I think I'm a nice friend and a good person, and I try to do my work as best I can.

I think the greatest gift to me is that I can express myself in songs. It helps me get through some of the hardest times of my life. It also helps me celebrate some of the best times.
Pregnancy was probably the best and the hardest thing I'll ever go through. I know for a lot of women, it can be wonderful and relatively easy.
You really have to look inside yourself and find your own inner strength, and say, 'I'm proud of what I am and who I am, and I'm just going to be myself.'
I'm not vain, I'm insecure.
I am very insecure about my looks, and I always have been because of being mixed race.
Being biracial is so much a part of who I am that it's almost, 'Let it go already.' It's intrinsic to me. I think a lot of my fans relate to me because they felt different.
My mother is Irish, my father is black and Venezuelan, and me - I'm tan, I guess.
