My mother was incredibly strict, especially when we moved to New York. Compared with most of the American parents, who seemed so relaxed with their children, my mother was virtually a dictator.

I used to be a serious sneaker addict, but I've moved on a little bit from those days.

D'Angelo could sing the phonebook and it would sound good.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.

I hate the bad rap that people give my parents. Because they are just parents, really, at the end of the day trying to stand up for their daughter and themselves.

I was a bit challenged when I was younger to stay on the right path.
