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

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

I can sometimes work out three times a day. I love hot yoga. I enjoy it.

I created my own little online series, 'Love, Life & Music,' years ago, before reality TV got poppin'. I wanted my fans to see that I wasn't just here sitting on my hands. I'm out here every day, grinding and working.

I want somebody else to say, 'Man, that 'Back 2 Life' album got me through. There were songs that really empowered me to get out of my safe zone or to leave that abusive relationship or made me feel confident.'

Being an actress and a singer, you get more 'nos' than you get 'yes.' You get more rejection than you do anything else.

I'm definitely a hopeless romantic.

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 only serve one God, and I'm only judged by one God.

I think, a lot of times, we find ourselves in a relationship where we are on two different pages.

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.

It's very important to have that prayer life. It's very important to communicate always.

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 feel it's very important to build your foundation first before sharing your relationship with the world.

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.

We can't control the heart and how it loves, and sometimes it's hard to let go, but you have to love yourself more and turn that no-good man loose.

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.

I've become more comfortable with opening up.

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

I think my full name is 'Ain't you the girl LeToya who used to be in Destiny's Child?' My nickname is 'Girl from Destiny's Child.'

I have a very strong spiritual base.

I stay in church, listening to the Word.

I was big on movies when I was little. I always wanted to be certain actresses and do my thing like that.

If someone offered me a movie, I will take your script.

I love cleaning and hanging things up!

I'm a real person. You can ask anybody who knows me.

I like real people. I like real things.

I remember, as a kid, my first breakup at 14 years old, I was jamming to Toni Braxton trying to heal out here. Why did an angel break my heart? Hell, I don't know.

My prayer life and my connection with God are on the highest level.

My father was a minister, so I was raised in the church.

Me and my sister and my best friend get on the phone every morning and pray about different things. Even if we can't talk, because both of them have kids and I'm on the road, we shoot each other texts. 'What can I pray for you today?' It's a wonderful feeling knowing that you have women of God praying for you. There's nothing like that.

Never ignore your intuition about friendships and people's intentions towards you.

Watch people and how they handle other people. You have to stay open and keep your eyes open to them.

I don't operate in fear anymore.

There's nothing more attractive than a woman who's humble but knows what she can bring to the table.

I've been trying to find a balance between all things in my life - personal, singing, acting.

I'm such a team player, and I love being in a group setting. You're used to looking to your left and right and someone being there. When you're out there on your own, you're like, 'Oh, boy.'

My purpose is to share in any way what I learned, like, 'Girl, I went through this, so now you don't have to go through the same thing.'

Don't try and be like someone else. There is already a Michael Jackson, a Janet Jackson, a Beyonce. You be you. And take advantage of the social media platform you have to share. That wasn't around when I started out.

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

I love Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, and Miguel.

In the years that I've been in this business, a lot of things have changed in a major way. In all aspects.

I think, as an artist, you definitely have to evolve. I've learned that that's very important. However, you have to stay true to yourself while also keeping up with the trends in music and this industry.

I'm a fun person.

I'm so proud to be a black woman; I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.

I'm thankful that l I have an amazing family, black women that raised me.

I'm like an international girl all day long. But I love the black women in my life: my grandmother, my mom.

God put us on this earth with the purpose of loving.

I just think girls need to value themselves much more than they do.

Love is never easy. It never is. And I'm not just talking about girl and guy, girlfriend, boyfriend, husband and wife. I'm talking about family, friends - all of that.
