You could be the most successful and talented woman in the world, but the second you take off your clothes, your talent will fade. The purpose of music is to uplift, give comfort and wisdom. If you want to be a go-go dancer, then be one. If you want to be a singer, then sing.

I was with some members of my band and there was a girl on stage dancing to Beyoncé's single, 'Crazy in Love,'.

One woman came up to me and said, 'After listening to it, I started to cry,'.

That girl came to work and maybe that's all she knows how to do, but she's still a human being and she didn't come to work to get assaulted, ... You watch all of this stuff on TV and some people don't see the difference between fantasy and reality.

The phrase of the survivor.

I just had an argument with my husband and I was so disappointed with his point of view, ... And the sad part is that a lot of people share his view, which is that music isn't about music any more. It's about image.

And Ciara was like, 'What I'm doing is about the heart and the soul,' ... And I'm like, 'What heart? What soul?' I asked my husband, 'When I say the name Ciara, what comes to mind?' And he said, 'A girl who knows how to shake her ass real good.' He was talking about pornography. And that's all it is.

People tell me to stop preaching but I tell them I have every right to do this 'cause I've lived both lives. These girls you see right now, I've been there. You know how much further I would be in life if I just laid down a couple of times or got on my knees a couple of times?
