I take conscious breaks for myself 'cause I like to rejuvenate and get my creative juices flowing. I also like to take my time with my creativity; I think it's important.

Last year's tournament didn't really get the juices flowing. I think this year's tournament really did that.

I have so much more to go through as a young lady. But oh my God. I feel like I can do anything.

When I was 17, my producer Rodney Jerkins was working with Michael Jackson at the time. He knew how much I wanted to meet Michael Jackson, so he says, 'Would you like to come and meet him?' I'm like, 'Are you serious? Of course I want to meet Michael Jackson! Where do I meet you? Where do we come?'

I've done my time. I've done it as well and as respectfully as I think anyone can.
