When I decided to be a singer, my mother warned me I'd be alone a lot. Basically we all are. Loneliness comes with life.

I just always wanted to be a singer. My mom said I was even singing in my cot!

Being a singer is all about me. About ego. Being a mom is all about being selfless - two different worlds.

I never really wanted to be a singer, because I was a super-shy kid. Singing made me feel awkward, and I was really insecure.

I always wanted to be a singer, but none of my friends thought I could sing.

My mother was the first singer I had contact with. She sang constantly to us around the house, in church.

Growing up, I always wanted to be a singer, and I've done that.

I consider myself as a singer first, but something that really helped me come into my own is that there's not a separation between me singing and me playing the guitar. The two fed off the other.

I think I hid my singing talent from a lot of my friends at school because I didn't want to alienate anyone. If everyone was singing along in the car to a Madonna song, I didn't join in because when we're younger we're afraid of sticking out or showing off, when in fact we should own those things that make us really unique.

My father's a deacon, my mother's a choir director, so I grew up in the church and singing in the choir, begging my mom if I could have a solo.
