One thing that is constantly on my iPod is India Arie - I like her a lot; I listen to her a lot. I think she is just a spectacular artist.

I love Kanye West. I think he's a visionary. He's one of those people for whom I separate his personality from his artistry.

I am undoubtedly a 100 percent Bollywood product, but my heart truly lies in making music for the world and taking India global.

I just respect Kanye as an artist.

I'm a hip-hop dancer, but when I'm in my room it turns into this lyrical nonsense, and I listen to Phil Wickham and India Arie, who has the most precious songs.

I admire Rihanna.

I like Kanye, and I care about him.

The work ethic behind everything Kanye does is crazy. It's greatness. He told me, 'We're not just rappers, we're artists.'

I'd love to be the female Kanye. I think he's so cool and effortless.

I met India Arie, who is one of my favorite artists of all time. It was really sweet; I was broken up with a month before, and she stayed up texting me all night and was helping me through it. Her text message looks like a song of hers. She's sort of become my fairy godmother.
