Zitat des Tages von Eve:
Coming from Ruff Ryders, there would be, like, 30 guys in the studio at once, and then me, trying to do my own thing.
I live in a neighborhood where there's a lot of West Indian culture, so it's nice.
Reggae is my heart since I was a kid. I love Reggae music.
I can't wait to have kids one day. Yeah. Definitely. That's the ultimate goal in life, for myself. I think that's the ultimate blessing.
I'm such a girly-girl! I don't know why people don't see that.
Originally, after 'Tambourine' came out, another record was supposed to come out, but I had issues with my record label at the time, which was Interscope. We couldn't agree on a record, so that took some time. I had to leave them and find a new label.
I worship God. Religion and worship are two different things to me. Religion is by the book. I think too many people rely on the textbook: 'OK, it says to do this and it says to do that, so if I do this, this, and that, then I still can go out and do wrong because I did this, this, and that.'
I don't wanna be known as just a hip-hop artist. I wanna take it to a whole 'nother level.
I can't help who I am. I'm just doing what I feel like I should do in my heart. If I was walking around with Timbs and a hoodie on, people would see that that's not me.
When I do music, I do it for me and my fans.
I am completely turning into my mom. Me, trying to be stern, is her. Or when I make silly voices. My mom always uses weird voices if she's talking to a kid or a dog. I'm the same person - completely my mother.
As far as style goes, I gravitate toward anything that is effortlessly chic. I don't wanna look like I'm trying too hard.
'Lip Lock' is a play on words. It sounds flirty and fun. Also, my lips are one of my favorite features. Also, it's like, literally locking the game down with my words because I'm a lyricist.
I'd rather experiment than follow the same formula. I'm a curious person. It's gotten me into trouble, but I say, 'Why not? Let's try it.'
God is my best friend. I talk to God every day. And no one can tell me how to talk to God - not no imam, not no priest, not no rabbi, no pastor.
I listen to every thing, all kinds of stuff. I've been obsessed with the Nas and Damian Marley record, 'Distant Relatives.' I feel like a lot of people haven't heard it, and it's amazing.
I always say, 'Hip-hop takes me everywhere.' It's crazy when I step onstage, and people might not speak much English, but they know every word to your songs. It's kind of freaky, but it's really cool.
I did not let people tell me what to do, and I never wanted to be a groupie.
