When I Was Meeting People In L.a.,

There Are Times I Go Out And Meet People And Flirt, But It's Not Really Appropriate To Have Anything Serious.

I Was Never Really Attached To A Clique, And I Wanted To Be In All The Different Groups; I Was Never A One-group Kind Of Person. I Think That's Still Part Of My Personality Today.

Honesty Has Always Worked For Me.

My Religious Upbringing Was Comically Strict — Even The Dirt Devil Vacuum Cleaner Was Banned. In Our House, No One Was Allowed To Refer To Deviled Eggs. We Had To Call Them Angelic Eggs. We Were Never Allowed To Swear. I'd Get Into Trouble Just For Saying 'hell No'. If You Dropped A Hammer On Your Toe In Our House You Had To Say Something Like 'jiminy Christmas'. The Only Music We Were Allowed To Listen To Was Gospel. No Wonder I Rebelled.

At My Second Record Label, They Told Me And Other Female Artists That Some Of Us Were Going On The Chopping Block. I Was 19... And It Was Devastating.
