“I’m a really good person. I’m down to earth. I have a big heart. I have feelings. And I’m just like everybody else.”

You don’t have to be an heiress to look like one, if you act like one then everyone will just presume you are one.

I take my dog Tinkerbell seriously. I take my job seriously. But I don’t take myself all that seriously.

There is no sin worse in life than being boring.

Every woman should have four pets in her life. A mink in her closet, a jaguar in her garage, a tiger in her bed, and a jackass who pays for everything.

Well, since I’m six years old, I’ve been playing the violin, the piano, I’ve been singing. It’s always been a dream of mine, but I really never had the courage to actually go and do it professionally.

There is no sin worse in life than being boring and nothing worse than letting other people tell you what to do.

I’ve made all my money on my own without my family and I work very hard.

Having a nightclub in your house really helps for having a party, because then you don’t need to go out.

I don’t care about people who don’t care about me. If people are negative or mean, then that’s their issue. Screw them.

A lot of my dreams have to do with animals I think because I’m such a huge animal lover. I have so many pets. I always have crazy dreams where I’m like riding an elephant through the jungle or hanging out with a bunch of monkeys.

You know your the best when people you don’t know hate you.

The way I see it, you should live everyday like its your birthday.

A man must walk before he can fly – one cannot fly into flying.

One night stands are not for me. I think it’s gross when you just give it up.

There’s so many people out there who try to imitate what I do but I am the original.

The best accessories a girl can have are her closest friends.

It’s the unknown that makes me feel the most vulnerable.

I feel so blessed to just have done what I had done. To be able to just use what God has given me is a blessing. You know, never mind the Grammys, never mind the records, never mind all of that. Just to be able to sing.

I don’t sit around thinking about my titles and roles; I just do what feels right.

Having listened to great songwriters like James Taylor and Carole King, I felt there was nothing new that was coming out that really represented me and the way I felt. So I started writing my own stuff.

Anything that looks good makes you feel better.

Where there is no emotion, there is no motive for violence.

It is the way we react to circumstances that determines our feelings.

When you’re putting good stuff into your body, you feel so much better.
