It's Vh1, It's Everywhere, And You Know

I Went Through A Struggle, And I Really Needed To Get Myself Together And Connect With My Purpose, Which Is Music.

I've Figured Out The Secret. Your Mind Is Your Power; You Have To Work With Your Mind And Work With Your Own Thoughts About Your Own Life. If You Spend So Much Time Thinking, "this Industry Is Male-dominated. It's Sexist. It's This. It's That," Then That's What The Picture Will Always Be. I Remember When I Was Coming Up, I Didn't Have Those Thoughts. My Mom Told Me I Could Be Whatever I Wanted To Be And I Could Be As Bright Of A Star As I Was Meant To Be. So, That's Where I Put All Of My Focus And My Thought...into What I Could Do. And I Carry That With Me Now.

My Daughter, I Can't Give Up Because She's Watching And She's Here And She's Waiting For Me To Be An Example. So, Between Her, Myself, And My Will, And Me Pushing Myself, That's My Inspiration.

In My Life Right Now, In My Music, And Just Overall I Feel Like I'm Winning. It Doesn't Matter What This Person Is Saying Or What The Charts Are Saying Or What Award Shows Are Saying, The Public Opinion Doesn't Matter. I Feel Like I'm Winning In My Spirit.

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.
