“Always follow your heart. Sometimes it’s gonna hurt – but you’re going to be fine.”

I’m not going to make a judgment on plastic surgery because I don’t have to yet. I mean, I’d like to think I’ll feel great about myself and age gracefully, but then I think, Well, what if I do want a little bit of something? I’m open to being open.

When I was in my 20s I wasn’t sure of myself. Now I can really stretch. I don’t have to stay in the box. At this point I can say to myself, So what if I fall, so what? I’m going to get back up.

You have to stand up and say, ‘There’s nothing wrong with me or my shape or who I am; you’re the one with the problem!’

They’re making me out to be a serial marrying person or something. I’m laughing at that.

By nature I am not tough, believe it or not.

I’m a singer. I’m a dancer. I’m a performer. I’m an actress. That’s what I’m supposed to be doing. It makes me a better parent, a better person. I think I can just handle more than the average bear, you know?

The bottom line is that musicians love to make music and always will.

Don’t push your weaknesses, play with your strengths.

I’m feeling lucky like a four-leaf clover.

You’ve got to love yourself first. You’ve got to be okay on your own before you can be okay with somebody else.

I like to maintain a certain sense of fantasy. At home, do I have the full hair and makeup? No. But I might have the nice dress on.

I came from the Bronx and a certain background. I worked really hard. I kept my focus on the right things.

And I love the idea of spending the whole day in bed with my lover.

You have got to love yourself first. You have got to be ok on your own before you can be ok with somebody else. You have got to value yourself and know that you are worth everything.

I swear to God, I don’t remember anything Gwyneth Paltrow was in. Some people get hot by association. I heard more about her and Brad Pitt and I ever heard about her work.

I feel I want to grow as an actress and be better. I want to progress as a singer and songwriter, and produce movies and everything. So there’ll be no time when I feel I’ve done it all.

I have a heart full of feelings. But a mouth devoid of words.

Don’t just give me butterflies I will never settle for less than a love that’s passionate and wild I need you to set my heart on fire I want you to set my soul ablaze.

Everyone has their own time to get their fortune. Be happy for others while you wait for your time.

Constricted hearts do not bode well for a mind that ties itself in knots.

Sometimes a heartbeat is all the home you ever need.

Surrender to me a new heart with your touch I may love again.

Muses are born from a soul that is aching but I would sacrifice the most beautiful art if I could stop one heart from breaking.

Fly like a butterfly in the fields like they did in the time of yore, fly like a butterfly in my heart like you never did from the time of yore.
