Christina Milian
Even if I am just sleeping with her or just watching cartoons in bed, I know Violet values that. I try to make the most of every moment and just make it special with her, because its what matters to me most.
There's nothing better than that feeling of new chemistry when you're so into someone, and you could care less about what anyone else thinks... and there's butterflies! It's a real feeling that people experience.
I'm an entertainer, period. But I'd probably have to say my passion is in singing. I'm willing to go broke singing.
I've teamed up with Pine Sol to celebrate the makers of home.
Once upon a time, the homemaker was just Mom, but now we've evolved and come to a place where we're celebrating grandmas, grandpas, moms, dads - all the people that keep it safe and clean for our kids - and the overall health for ourselves so we can continue to function and do the variety of things we all do.
I want Violet to be proud of every little thing that is her - her hair, her body. We're all different, and from early on, I've always said she has a very confident personality, and I want her to maintain that.
I sang the 'Kim Possible' song for their cartoon series 'Kim Possible'.
I felt like by doing 'Turned Up,' it was something for my fans. It would be a great outlet for me to come out musically and really step up my game.
It takes a lot of work to be a great mother, a great daughter, and a great friend. All those things take effort, and I think, after having my daughter, she opened up this fearlessness within me, and I'm setting an example for her.
When it comes to my career and investing into myself, I'm going to be very particular and meticulous about how I'm doing things so that I can reach the level of success that I want. I'm also going to take some chances, because who better for me to invest in than myself?
The writing process is more... it becomes a case of more like a diary for me. I mean, I write stuff down all day whenever I'm experiencing something that I think would be important for me to look at later on. You know, whether it be for writing lyrics or just for a memory, like, 'Oh, my gosh, I can't believe I was feeling that way at that time'.
A great script might come my way, and I could be in the middle of music. So, it's a huge choice that I have to make - if I'm going to go do a movie or if I'm going to turn it down - because it could be an opportunity that could send my career through the roof, and you never know.
There are a lot of options when it comes between music and acting. For me, because I'm so passionate about my music career, you have to be extremely passionate when you have opportunities like films and real money actually coming to you compared to with music.
I have a fan base that goes everywhere from 5 to - I don't even know what age, but grown adults.
At the end of the day, I'm Violet's mom, and I want the best for her.
I'm not one of those girls who gets with somebody for the jewelry.
I was in musical theater when I first started, so there was always both acting and singing. But as far as getting a record deal, that took time. The majority of that time, I was acting.
With my first single, 'AM to PM,' I was just this cute 18-year-old. But 'cute' didn't get me older roles, and 'cute' wasn't selling records. I wanted people to see that I'd grown up, so I did 'Dip It Low.'
My mom has gone out of her way in her personal life. She's been with me on the road. She's had to deal with people giving her the 'that's the mom' and arguing. Just little things as a businesswoman.
F. Gary Gray, I think, is one of the best directors I've ever worked with in my life, and I'd love to work with him again.
Janet Jackson - I enjoy her style and her dancing.
I like a family guy. He must be fun, must like to go out, and has to respect his mom... my family is very important, so it should be likewise for him.
Keep the faith; work hard: practice does make you perfect. Do what you can, and meet the right people to make it work.
In the world's eyes, what they know of me is from the blogs. What they know is from the media.
'Dip it Low' is pretty highly requested for me. I get that a lot.
I don't like peanut butter and jelly that much.
I was a Tina Turner fan growing up.
I'm doing everything in my power to be a great mother. I wish I could be with her throughout the day, because I'm always working, but I make sure that whether it's the morning or nighttime, I make it extra special.
It's weird what a last name will do. I changed it to 'Milian,' and next thing you know, I was working and getting auditions and stuff, and it was crazy.
Instagram. Pictures. Lots of pictures! I don't really care to read everyone's thoughts.
I've always loved 'Umbrella.' Funny enough, my ex-husband wrote that, and I'm not saying it was meant for me or anything - people will start twisting this - it is Rihanna's song! But I've always loved it.
I had a really great performance with Steven Tyler in the movie 'Be Cool.' I performed 'Cryin',' so we recorded the song beforehand. But I didn't get to meet him until I hit the stage with him, and we had a live performance with 30,000 people in the audience, and that was for the movie.
Violet is my everything. She's the sweetest little girl in the whole world. She inspires me. I'm glad that we have such a close relationship because she makes me laugh and shows me how great life can be every day.
I'm happy that I took time off to become a mom and raise my daughter properly and build a bond between the two of us.
I would love to do an indie film, as I've grown to have a more serious side.
'Shelby Star' is going great. We shot a music video, and I'm building an app and some other things for the project.
I'm happiest when I'm with my daughter and I don't have any distractions with my phone going off.
My favorite thing about motherhood is the outpouring of love that is non-judgmental and beautiful. My daughter just makes me happy, and she motivates me to be a kid again.
From singing to acting to songwriting to mom to fashion designer! It's been quite an evolution.
Every little thing I've done so far has been a dream of mine, and I've been able to accomplish it. It's still a dream every day.
I'm all about 'molde de arroz con picadillo'.
Shoutout to Latinas! You've been great at supporting me, and I appreciate you!
