When I make a suggestion to a nationwide corporation and they implement my suggestion within 24 hours, that's both way cool and a huge power trip for me.

That's not to say that I'm turning into a diva. I've never understood how people suddenly get famous and turn into abject greedy bitches. We all know the story about how "Jenny from the block" isn't really just from the block anymore and is completely dissing her friends from her old 'hood back in the Bronx in favor of her new chic lifestyle. A friend of mine told me that Nelly Furtado turned into a couple diva, demanding all kinds of things, after only a single tour. Puff Diddly pulled that stupid "do not disturb the sexy" thing with his post-Grammy party and required that all of his guests wear his line of clothing. And there's always those other way-out-there requests that we see on The Smoking Gun.

I would hope -- for both my sake and also for the sake of my parents, because my behavior reflects on how they raised me -- that I would never turn into a bitchy and demanding diva, no matter how famous or how rich I became.
