In groups, who sings this part or that part always turns into an issue. Eventually, you get the courage to go out on your own.

When you love someone, they have a piece of you, one of the most important pieces of you, and that's your heart. And when you decide to love freely and love hard -- like I do myself -- that's a risk that you're taking -- getting hurt.

I'm definitely a hopeless romantic.

I am terrified of things that go bump in the night. I don't like scary movies. I am a scaredy cat.

You pray for things, and you know, we all have our wishlists, but I've learned to pray for whatever's in your will.

I'm preparing to be a mother one day and I really wanted to get inside the mind of a mom.

I love Instagram and Twitter, and I think it's awesome that fans can connect with their favorite artists, but it also gives them a chance in that comment box to say what they really feel about them.

I can't fight for no man because that means I'm fighting for your uncertainty about me and our relationship, so what kind of sense does that make? Honey, there are too many men in this world, and there's bound to be one who's truly checking for me.

Whenever I deal with heartbreak, my therapy is to listen to all the love songs I can to purge my system -- and I change my phone number so I won't be tempted to call or keep expecting him to call back.

I still do believe in carrying yourself a certain way, and I do my best to be somewhat of a role model. I'm not a perfect person. I'm a human being. I'm not the Lord, but I do accept that responsibility, and that's why I do try to carry myself with confidence, with poise, with grace, and with class.

Especially for my first album, I struggled with even the thought of being a solo artist.

Excellence is not a single act. You are what you repeatedly do.

I love playing different characters.

I try to shampoo and condition it at least once a week. I do deep conditioners as well and sit underneath the hair dryer and everything.

I like real people. I like real things.

I'm a Disney fan. Like, seriously, if I see Mickey Mouse, I light up.

I think with any woman, or any person that's been in love before, you know that feeling when you first meet someone. The butterflies and excitement that's there.

Music has healed me on so many different occasions, and I want my music to be able to do that for someone else.

Just like every young woman, I love getting all glam for the holidays.

Destiny's Child was a part of me; I was blessed to even have that experience, but this is me doing my thing and that's all I can do.
