Having felt people's love and support first hand through difficult moments in my life makes me feel it's our responsibility to help one another.

The responsibility of carrying and bringing a new life into this world is one that cannot be taken lightly.

I love Gershwin. I love musicals.

You never know what life has in store for you, but I believe there are certain things one is meant to go through.

I'm a writer and this is what I love to do. There's no reason that just because you're a celebrity you can't write,

All I tell artists is, 'Do what you love. Never let anybody talk you into changing what your musical idea is just to try to get a hit, because you're chasing your tail that way. It's not going to happen, and if you're successful, you have to do it the rest of your life. Stay true to it and do it for the sake of the art.'
