People Are Mean And Hateful, Angry -

My Hair And I Had A Really Bad Argument. She Was Being Sprayed With Alcohol And Burnt With Irons. She Was Being Over Processed And Yanked And Pulled By Weave Strings And Suffocated By Glue. She Told Me If I Didn't Straighten Up And Fly Right That She Was Leaving.

I'm A Recording Artist Who's Traveled Around The World So I Have Different Opportunities Than Other People And People May Decide How I Should Use My Opportunities Because My Opportunities Are Public Whereas I Can't Decide How People Should Use Their Opportunities Because Their Opportunities Are Private. That's What We're Dealing With - People Feeling Like They Should Be Able To Control Celebrities.

I Think Everything That Happens In Life We're Prepared For In Ways We Really Don't Really Know.

I'm An Advocate Of Music In Schools. It's Important To Me That Music Is In As Many Schools As Possible Across This Country And Across The World. I Think That It's A Lost Art Form Because Kids Aren't As Exposed To It As Maybe They Used To Be, Or Should Be. I Was Exposed Heavily To Jazz And That's Why I Love It.

At The End Of The Day, I Think That Music Lovers Are Going To Love Me. I Think The Pop Songs That Are On My Album Will Be Loved By The Pop Listeners And The R&b Songs Will Be Loved By The R&b People. I Think That Each Song Has A Broad Enough Sound That I Won't Be Pigeon Holed. At The Same Time I Think It Is Appealing To Many Different Audiences.
