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

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.

You mirror what the world mirrors to you.

If you kiss on the first date and it’s not right, then there will be no second date. Sometimes it’s better to hold out and not kiss for a long time. I am a strong believer in kissing being very intimate, and the minute you kiss, the floodgates open for everything else.

People equate sexy with promiscuous. They think that because I’m shaped this way, I must be scandalous – like running around and bringing men into my hotel room. But it’s just the opposite.

You know, maybe I was just born in the wrong time, but I love all things romantic. Puffy understands that. For my last birthday, he covered my hotel room floor with rose petals and had flowers and candles all over the room.

I have to work, for my soul.

I just knew that was what I wanted to do. I was going to perform as a singer; I was going to perform as a dancer, and I was, you know, going to do movies and be an actress. I was going to do it or die trying. That’s what my life was.

When I am wrong, I will learn the lesson and move on to face other challenges. For me, that’s what creating your own life is. Doing your best work while being your best self.

Whenever it feels uncomfortable to tell the truth, that’s often the most important time to tell it.

If you ask me, I’d like to become the first female president. That would be really cool. The first thing I would do is redecorate the White House, it doesn’t look very cozy.

I was always a singer and a dancer, and I always wanted to be an actress. For me, it’s all just one thing.

You’ve gotta do things that make you happy.

You have to fight for the things you want.

If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – for ever.

Don’t brood. Get on with living and loving. You don’t have forever.

I live my life based on 2 principles. One, I live as if today was my last day on earth. Two, I live today as if I am going to live forever.

I really want to love somebody. I do. I just don’t know if it’s possible forever and ever.

The pain you are facing won’t last forever.

I used to believe in forever, but forever’s too good to be true.

Each time you love, love as deeply as if it were forever.

So it’s not gonna be easy. It’s going to be really hard; we’re gonna have to work at this everyday, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, everyday. You and me – everyday.
