I enjoy being happy every day, and hopefully you can hear my happiness in my music. Life is beautiful.
Christina Milian
I feel like if you don't put too much expectations and too much high hopes into things, everything will fall into place.
Violet speaks Spanish and understands it. She loves Cuban food! My mom is very good at teaching her about our culture, whether it be the food or Spanish or explaining to her that she's Cuban.
I did a theatrical musical, Annie Warbucks, when I was 11. We did a tour and we stopped by Los Angeles.
Growing up, I had an internal struggle with my body because I was really chubby. My sisters were younger, and they were all skinny and all cute. As a teen, I definitely had, like, an extra 30 pounds of weight.
Staring down the barrel of a gun is the scariest thing you could ever experience. It's not funny. It's not for the movies.
I think chatbots are the future of engagement between a fan and a brand or celebrity.
I've always loved 'Umbrella.' Funny enough, my ex-husband wrote that, and I'm not saying it was meant for me or anything - people will start twisting this - it is Rihanna's song! But I've always loved it.
I've got Christian Louboutin' s 6 1/4-inch Equestria boots. I wear them so much, I turned the red bottoms brown!
I'm all about 'molde de arroz con picadillo'.
Even if I don't have the money to take vocal lessons, I'll practice in the house by myself singing out loud.
Because I get nervous all the time. It's weird but I think it's fun and it's refreshing. It's always good to be that way. That keeps me appreciative of everything.
The only thing that I stress out about is, how am I going to make sure that I balance out my time for motherhood?
Also, my mom and family are very important to me and I know that this is not expected.
'Shelby Star' is going great. We shot a music video, and I'm building an app and some other things for the project.
Instagram. Pictures. Lots of pictures! I don't really care to read everyone's thoughts.
I'm not one of those girls who gets with somebody for the jewelry.
I really stay away from products that are not silicon-based, and I really stay away from parabens.
From singing to acting to songwriting to mom to fashion designer! It's been quite an evolution.
Women need each other. Be there for each other, and don't feel threatened.
Since high school, I've always been super into photography. I event went to Valley College for photography.
When I think of the definition of cool and when I look at people, John Travolta is really the definition of cool because, not only is he great in all his movies, but, as a person, he's just really cool.
Every little thing I've done so far has been a dream of mine, and I've been able to accomplish it. It's still a dream every day.
'We Are Pop Culture' is my clothing line for women that started with just T-shirts. The clothing line is urban street wear. It's for women that feel confident in their own skin and want to express themselves. The whole idea is to play with modern pop culture and previous pop culture using art and sayings.
I would love to go to a restaurant on the beach. And that could be in Miami or that could be in Malibu or Bahamas, Mexico.
If you want to page me, It's OK! I've actually had guys tell me they were fans from the 'Kim Possible' days. And I've met people who still have the 'Kim Possible' theme song as their ringtone.
I just got tired of waiting for things to happen through other people when so many other people are taking chances on following their dreams.
When I go home, I still have to clean my room; I still have to do the dishes. We have somebody come every now and then to do that stuff, but my mom still makes me clean before she comes.
I've always loved Jennifer Lopez, and I think, as an entertainer, she is a great example of a strong woman that is also very levelheaded and cool and produces her own content.
My father's in the military, so we moved a lot. I was born in Jersey but grew up in Maryland until we moved to L.A. to pursue my acting career. Music came into it after that.
I had actually been on tour in Japan and I had my own world tour that I was doing. I was used to doing a show for an hour, so I was always learning choreography.
The writing process is more... it becomes a case of more like a diary for me. I mean, I write stuff down all day whenever I'm experiencing something that I think would be important for me to look at later on. You know, whether it be for writing lyrics or just for a memory, like, 'Oh, my gosh, I can't believe I was feeling that way at that time'.
I have a fan base that goes everywhere from 5 to - I don't even know what age, but grown adults.
Even if I am just sleeping with her or just watching cartoons in bed, I know Violet values that. I try to make the most of every moment and just make it special with her, because its what matters to me most.
F. Gary Gray, I think, is one of the best directors I've ever worked with in my life, and I'd love to work with him again.
I want Violet to be proud of every little thing that is her - her hair, her body. We're all different, and from early on, I've always said she has a very confident personality, and I want her to maintain that.
There's nothing better than that feeling of new chemistry when you're so into someone, and you could care less about what anyone else thinks... and there's butterflies! It's a real feeling that people experience.
I have a lot of respect for the musical theater plays.
Keep the faith; work hard: practice does make you perfect. Do what you can, and meet the right people to make it work.
I enjoy my fun time and everything like that but I love what I do.
I'm not too hard on myself about dieting and exercise. Some stars are a little too bony for me. What happened to the booty?
My advice to someone to follow in my footsteps is to have patience. I've been doing this for twelve years.
The new idea for me now is creativity. I like to express myself.
The actors I would like to work with are Julia Roberts, just because I've admired her work for a long time, well Brad Pitt. I think you know my reasons.
I'm a fan of Rihanna. I have all her albums. I love her music; she's a great performer. We've both gone on to great things. It's all love.
I do my best to use all-natural type of products. I find that Perricone has really nice face cream. I find they have good facial products. Whenever I have a pimple, their products clear them up and make my skin nice and clean. Also, Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil-Free Gel-Cream.
I have to have a little bit of time to myself right before whatever it is that I have to do because most of the time I'm sitting in my head convincing myself to calm down, all right, show down.
There are a lot of options when it comes between music and acting. For me, because I'm so passionate about my music career, you have to be extremely passionate when you have opportunities like films and real money actually coming to you compared to with music.
I also have two dogs, a Chihuahua and a Yorkshire terrier, so if they like him, that's a good sign.
I was a Tina Turner fan growing up.
