God has given me this gift to get out there and share my music and share my experiences and share my testimony. Why not be open? Why not be real? Why not walk in my truth?
— LeToya Luckett
Music has healed me on so many different occasions, and I want my music to be able to do that for someone else.
I trust God's timing. I'm a very spiritual person, and a lot of times, we want things on our time, and we come up with our own plans of what we want to do with our lives, but God be like, 'Haha, you're funny. That's cute. Anyways, this is what you're going to do,' and I've learned to just sit back.
Being an actress and a singer, you get more 'nos' than you get 'yes.' You get more rejection than you do anything else.
Excellence is not a single act. You are what you repeatedly do.
I'm definitely a hopeless romantic.
I don't use a lot of heat on my hair.
With any relationship that you have, don't lose yourself in it.
I am not afraid of being alone and single.
I love Instagram and Twitter, and I think it's awesome that fans can connect with their favorite artists, but it also gives them a chance in that comment box to say what they really feel about them.
In groups, who sings this part or that part always turns into an issue. Eventually, you get the courage to go out on your own.
With everything, especially romantic relationships, you have to protect your heart. That doesn't mean you can't show up and be able to give this person a piece of you and be open to being yourself.
I just think girls need to value themselves much more than they do.
I'm thankful that l I have an amazing family, black women that raised me.
I think, as an artist, you definitely have to evolve. I've learned that that's very important. However, you have to stay true to yourself while also keeping up with the trends in music and this industry.
I like to eat a whole lot. I have an inner chubby girl, and her name is Mabel, and I feed Mabel a lot. I give her what she wants. If Mabel wants a honey bun, she gets it. If Mabel wants Krispy Kreme, she gets it. If Mabel wants fried chicken or ham hocks, she gets what she wants.
I can sometimes work out three times a day. I love hot yoga. I enjoy it.
Music is powerful.
I only serve one God, and I'm only judged by one God.
As far as my personality, my friends and family know I'm crazy! I love to have fun; I'm bubbly. People say I'm funny but I don't know that I'm funny: I don't try to be funny and tell jokes and stuff like that, but I always got something slick to say.
I serve a major God who definitely has the last say on my life.
I am so blessed to do what I love to do, but becoming a solo artist terrified me!
I love playing different characters.
I try to shampoo and condition it at least once a week. I do deep conditioners as well and sit underneath the hair dryer and everything.
I think, a lot of times as women, we feel pressure from our parents, our friends: we see our friends get married.
People love drama. They feed off of it.
People like to pick at your imperfections, and that can be very hard on you as a person. I think, a lot of times, people forget that we're human beings and some of us are fighting self-esteem issues already.
Everybody thought I was going to give up after the Destiny's Child situation. But I'm not one to say, 'Oh, poor me - it's over.' I knew that as long as I kept a strong prayer life, I would be able to fulfil my destiny.
When you love someone, they have a piece of you, one of the most important pieces of you, and that's your heart. And when you decide to love freely and love hard - like I do myself - that's a risk that you're taking - getting hurt.
God put us on this earth with the purpose of loving.
I'm so proud to be a black woman; I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.
In the years that I've been in this business, a lot of things have changed in a major way. In all aspects.
I'm a Disney fan. Like, seriously, if I see Mickey Mouse, I light up.
Don't try and be like someone else. There is already a Michael Jackson, a Janet Jackson, a Beyonce. You be you. And take advantage of the social media platform you have to share. That wasn't around when I started out.
I want somebody else to say, 'Man, that 'Back 2 Life' album got me through. There were songs that really empowered me to get out of my safe zone or to leave that abusive relationship or made me feel confident.'
People appreciate a confident man. They love a strong man, and when it comes to a woman, I don't know if people just expect women not to speak up for themselves or be weak or just always be the follow-behind, but I'm proud that I'm in a generation of leaders. I'm proud that I'm surrounded by very strong women.
I would audition for all the school plays, and finally, my last year, I got the role as Pinocchio - finally.
People go through times where you're not getting roles one after the other, and I definitely went through that.
I'm a picnic-in-the-park kind of girl.
Pincurling is my secret! I wear my hair wavy alot, and so I don't have to use all that excess heat every day trying to curl it; I just pincurl it.
People always say, 'When you left... ' I hate when people say, 'When you left.' Why would I leave Destiny's Child? Ask yourself that before saying that. I didn't leave. It was a decision that was made, and that's the end of that.
I'm very to myself.
A lot of people ask me about my past. It's part of my life, so I expect people to ask certain questions. Maybe they're curious.
I used to have this thing about my legs. If you look at all of the Destiny's Child albums from when I was a part of the group, you never saw me in a skirt. I was always the one who wore the pants, because I felt like my legs were too skinny.
Everything that I give is to God, and my trust is in Him.
Love is never easy. It never is. And I'm not just talking about girl and guy, girlfriend, boyfriend, husband and wife. I'm talking about family, friends - all of that.
I'm like an international girl all day long. But I love the black women in my life: my grandmother, my mom.
I'm a fun person.
I love Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, and Miguel.
I am terrified of things that go bump in the night. I don't like scary movies. I am a scaredy cat.
