A role model can teach you to love and respect yourself.

I'm in charge of raising a young woman one day, to be a mother and hopefully a wife.

I want to live. I didn't have time to die.

I had an attitude problem when I was a kid. I'm not gonna lie.

I've traveled the world in one of the best groups ever. I'm 42.

I want to raise my own baby. I don't want my baby crying for some other strange lady, some nanny. I am not down with that.

I get a lot of 'Oh, you've been gone.' I wasn't gone. Just because you didn't see me doesn't mean I wasn't working and collecting checks. I just wasn't singing and doing videos. I do a lot of other things, like I said, like writing scripts and stuff like that. I write for other artists.
