My Intention Is To Make Music That

Singing And Acting Suit Me. I Made A Vow To Myself, To Do Everything That I Can Do With This Life That I Have, And I Have To Find The Time To Do This. Sometimes I Need To Be An Actress. Sometimes I Don't Need To Be Jill.

When I Got My Success I Became Decadent For A While. This Was 2003 To 2008. I Fell For Tiramisu Really Hard. I've Become More Moderate Since, Because African-americans Are Prone To Diabetes.

I Didn't Leave Home Until 27. I Was An Only Child Raised In Philadelphia By My Mother And Grandmother. My Grandmother Controlled The Stove. She Made A Lot Of Potato Meals - Mashed Potato, Potato Souffle, Potato Pancakes. When We Didn't Have Electricity We Ate Romantically, By Candlelight.

I Could Float In The Pool For Hours, Just Letting The Water Carry Me.

Being A Mom, It Feels Like I Did Something So Powerful And Amazing. It's Such A Gigantic Blessing, And A Confirmation That The Creator Exists. And All Of That Has Made Me Feel Sexier And Stronger. I Call It 'lava In My Spine.'
