ā If God gave you the talent, you should go for it. But donāt think itās going to be easy. Itās hard! ā
" Being in this business, I accept that there are positives and negatives but having a strong family base and a belief in God enables me to weather the storms. ā
ā Itās hard to say what I want my legacy to be when Iām long gone. ā

" I donāt think about my previous success. Iām happy that the work Iāve done has been very successful. "
" Itās in how you carry yourself. Iāve always been a very mature person, and Iāve always known what I wanted. And I go after it no matter what. "

" All I can do is leave it in Godās hands and hope that my fans feel where Iām coming from. "
" I stay true to myself and my style, and I am always pushing myself to be aware of that and be original."
" Iām a survivor and I can handle anything. Iām very confident about that. "
