"A man with money will get you everything, but you will pay for it."

"We are broken. My siblings and I are broken because I think our parents couldn't articulate the kind of a family we are in ... So we have daddy issues"

"No. I worshipped him because I had a 'hero syndrome'. He saved me and gave me what I've always dreamt about. He was like God to me."

"The industry is quite boring now because everyone is so curated ... there's a certain image they need to put out. For us, what sold was you being yourself"

"I've been depressed for about 15 years. I'm still dealing with it and I'm still getting anxiety attacks ... I only found out that I was really depressed like two years ago and when they diagnosed me, and I sat down with my shrink, that's when they actually told me that I've been depressed since my daughter was born 15 years ago"

"Companionship is when you are both at a space where you are content. Both of us know where we are going but focus on the future. If both of us are still building our careers so let's focus on that then we will revisit that"

"No wedding bells anytime soon, I believe that having a companion doesn't really mean you have to get married"

"You can’t downgrade hard into hardships because the poverty will follow you. You downgrade into manifestation"

"I still want money to call me … Money must still recognise me and be like, ‘that’s my girl"

"Living rich was the loneliest time of my life"

"Life is not about the material things. You can be a success and find real love without losing yourself along the way"

"People read my actions and not my intentions. I don't blame the media for the attitude people had towards me. The media does not fabricate things. When you act like a diva you get seen as one"

"Life has no rules, there is no right or wrong, my wrong could be your right. When I broke into the industry I was the girl living a lavish life"
