Quote

I have always despised people who thought they were better than others, and I made a promise to myself that I'd never turn into that kind of person. My family also helps to keep me grounded. Whenever I get a "diva moment," as they like to call it, they let me know it and say, "Stop acting like a diva!" They're pretty good at it, too.

I warm up with my mom and make sure I understand what the songs are about, and make sure I'm using the right technique. To be honest with you, I really don't practice a lot... Usually I say a prayer and ask the Lord to sing with me and help me and stand on the stage with me.

Singing is my main goal, and I think philosophy will help me write songs.

We like to say [my voice] was a gift from God.
