Question: With such a busy schedule, do you ever get tired of performing?

Answer: I am always focused on my career. Every night, there's so much excitement. People know all the songs and the words, and you're anxious to sing them because you're sharing something with the audience.

Question: With so many successes at such a young age, what would you consider a ‘successful' future?

So, I'm really concentrating on the quality of the work that I do and on becoming an artist and becoming like Dorothy Dandridge, Judy Garland, or Barbra Streisand and people that I respect because they're good at everything that they do.
