My long-term goal is to be independent, quite frankly. I got quite spoiled doing Mi Plan, and in the context of my English projects I've had a lot of creative freedom. It's quite addictive, that creative independence. You start to crave it more and more as you move forward. Show less «

[on working with producer Rodney Jerkins and his music] When you meet people like that, you've got to really deliver. I like feeling like that, like I've gotta hit it out of the park. Every time I pulled up to his studio, I felt like a little kid riding her bike over to a friend's house, saying, 'What are we going to play today?'I took the time to celebrate it.
