“I was very vocal about how I wanted to be portrayed on the show, and how I wanted the stage setup to be.”

Indulging in the pleasures of creation.

On the show [the Voice] I obviously wasn’t allowed [singing my own original music], because it’s not that type of show. I think it’s really cool that I get to do my own thing now.

Time traveling through roots to birth healing fruit.

I’m probably the most proud of “Mrs. Potato Head,” because I had that idea in my head for so long, and I tried writing that song one time and I just couldn’t tell the story the way I wanted to, and I couldn’t figure it out.

Even if the song meant a lot to me, I would still probably perform it live.

You are the seashell planting your existence on the shore catching the attention of many even if they aren’t picking you up, but just merely walking by.

My favorite performance would definitely be “Toxic,” which was my blind audition song. It was the start of it all and it was a song I had been covering before the show, so it was very dear to my heart.

Is it easier to pretend we are as perfect as the stars above?

My love language is chocolate.

Had to retrieve the key to my heart, Let these roses represent how it all fell apart.

There are a lot of people who go their whole lives without truly knowing what love is, or ever experiencing that.

Tangled in transformation.

So like what I want to do is connect all of my albums and make it tell a bigger kind of story. So the first album is very focused on her family life and her love life.

I go with what I like and I generally just cling to things that are pastel and remind me of being a little kid. It’s just what it is right now, but I go through phases.

I’ve never heard a man in a suit tell me what to wear; that’s not their forte. You hire your stylist; whatever someone’s image is as an artist is what they’ve chosen to portray.

When I first appeared, people couldn’t figure out whether I was gay, straight, black, white or whatever, and I loved that. I loved the fact it scares people.

The best thing is to look natural, but it takes makeup to look natural.

The truth is I’m getting old, I said. We already are old, she said with a sigh. What happens is that you don’t feel it on the inside, but from the outside everybody can see it.

God will not look you over for medals degrees or diplomas, but for scars.

Freaks, they are very prejudiced. You have to have your hair long and talk in a certain way in order to be with them. In order to be the other way you have to have your hair short and wear ties.

Debt gives you the ability to look like you’re winning when you’re not.

Did you ever think how a bit of land shows the character of the owner?
