I have an odd fetish with nails. I was always doing beauty blogs about nails, and it would be on Fridays called ‘Friday’s Fingertip Fetish.’ It became so popular that a nail polish company approached...

One of my goals is to have this incredible body. I want to be strong, to be ripped.

Don’t ever give up. Believe in yourself or no one else will. My personal saying is: ‘I’d rather die knowing that I tried to do what I love.’

I think I’m a pretty open book. We’re all a work in progress, and I’m not ashamed to say that I don’t have it all together – I don’t really think anyone does.

Getting your nails done with your man is so much fun. Having them help you out choosing the color, I love that. I think it’s great to get a man’s perspective on nails and to...

I’m very open and honest, and I feel like it’s important for women to hear that we’re not perfect; none of us are perfect. And sometimes we aspire to have these ideas in our heads...

A friend of mine works for Autism Speaks. It’s an amazing cause that is making a real difference in the lives of so many people.

I think The ‘Cheetah Girls’ was originally supposed to be one film, but then it became two and three, which was a huge deal. But like all Disney franchises, they have to come to an...

One of my favorite fall items is a turtleneck. Cozy pieces like that for the fall – cashmere, fluffy cream turtlenecks – I think that’s so sexy.

Autism currently affects one in 88 children in the U.S., and its prevalence continues to rise. That’s why it’s important to help organizations like Autism Speaks raise awareness and funds to support families and individuals...

I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth; I came from really humble beginnings – the projects of New York City – and I worked my way to get to where I am.

The best thing a man can do on a first date is be a friend. I think that’s the biggest mistake men make on the first date. Just get to know me. Be my friend....

I honestly really, really love Topshop. I’ve bought a lot of booties from there. I think they have a great selection of really funky booties at Topshop. My splurge would be a pair of leather...

I’m obsessed with Starbucks seasonal flavors. I love their seasonal cups. I love their pumpkin-flavored coffee. I love that. I absolutely love, love, love Starbucks seasonal everything.

Understand that life is journey. I haven’t achieved the success I wanted to achieve yet, but that’s OK – it’s coming.

Do you know how many times my career has been close to rock bottom? Each time, I was like, ‘Girl, figure it out. Reinvent yourself.’

I’ve always had a career. I have been working hard since I was 15 years old. Being someone’s ‘girlfriend’ was never what I wanted to be famous for. What makes you ‘famous’ isn’t always what...

I feel like in L.A., you wake up, you put your diamond studs on, put your workout gear, your cute shades, and it is kind of the outfit you stay in the entire day.

I am personally am a fan of buff nails – not so much of clear polish, but a great buff nail is amazing.

If you decide you want to change your life around, it doesn’t matter where you came from, what you did, if you were incarcerated or you are from the projects, if you are an uppity...

When my hair is curly, I use Suave coconut conditioner. It’s not a leave-in, but I use it like one. It is so light and really brings out my hair’s curl. A lot of leave-ins...

I don’t love duck nails, where the nails are really wide on top. I am not a fan of that!

My splurge would be a pair of leather Christian Louboutin over-the-knee boots. They’re sick! I would do a really stretchy skinny jean under a black turtleneck and call it a day!

I think the most important thing that I’ve learned is that you live and you learn. Try not to make the same mistakes twice.

I see my sister, and she’s on her second baby, and I’m like, ‘That’s success.’ Having a family – I can’t wait for that.

When I originally came from ‘Cheetah Girls,’ I was making music that was real to me but not believable. I think there was a disconnect there. I am a grown woman, and I’ve been through...

I want a family. I see my sister, and she’s on her second baby, and I’m like, ‘That’s success.’ Having a family – I can’t wait for that.

I think for such a long time people had this misconception of who I was and what I was about.

Autism doesn’t have to define a person. Artists with autism are like anyone else: They define themselves through hard work and individuality.

Zara right now has incredible jeans. I’m obsessed. They have these jeans that have those ridges on the knees. I swear they have a little bit of stretch to them, so they hug everything in...

To be stuck with that Kardashian label, that was so hurtful to me and to my career. I probably realized that too late – not that it would’ve affected my decisions in terms of who...

I’m huge fan of ‘Timeflies.’

Why are women always the ones who have to forgive? If you cheated on a man, he would be like, ‘You’re disgusting, and I want nothing to do with you.’ But women, we’re supposed to...
