“No matter how bad your day is, just be grateful this day is added to your life.”

You’ve got every right to a beautiful life.

When I was a little girl I used to read fairy tales. In fairy tales you meet Prince Charming and he’s everything you ever wanted.

We have to live bravely in order to truly feel alive, and that means not being ruled by our greatest fears.

Love always ends differently and it always begins differently – especially with me.

I can’t deal with someone wanting to take a relationship backward or needing space or cheating on you.

There are two ways you can go with pain: You can let it destroy you or you can use it as fuel to drive you.

I never want to change so much that people can’t recognize me.

I’ve wanted one thing for me whole life and I’m not going to be that girl who wants one thing her whole life then gets it and complains.

In life and love, you learn that there comes a time to let go and move on.

You can stay the same person you’ve always been even if everything around you changes.

I haven’t had that one great love, which is good. I don’t want that to be in the past – I want it to be in the future.

If you’re lucky enough to be different, never change.

People haven’t always been there for me but music always has.

Delicate is a song that was written about such a vulnerable time in my life

It can be heartbreaking when you find out that your fairy tale image of the world doesn’t match the reality.

Real life is a funny thing, you know. In real life saying the right thing at the right time is beyond crucial.

Most of us do not like to look inside ourselves for the same reason we don’t like to open a letter that has bad news.

I hope you are reading to your children, out loud. That’s much better than watching television, much better. They won’t get very much out of television except some bad thoughts.

I think as far as the music industry is concerned, it’s kind of been the wild, wild West in a way with the Internet, which is not necessarily a bad thing to me.

People can do bad things with free speech as well as good. You have to defend the Ku Klux Klan as well as Martin Luther King. It’s like that. If you’re going to defend the principle, then you have to defend people who use the principle badly.

I never said I was a ‘good girl.’ I’m not a bad girl. I’m just normal, and that’s what I’m going to be. There’s no bad girl with whips and chains that’s going to come out. I think people like me because I was myself.

Too much of anything is bad, but too much Champagne is just right.

Nothing is so great an example of bad manners as flattery. If you flatter all the company, you please none; If you flatter only one or two, you offend the rest.

Things are sweeter when they’re lost. I know–because once I wanted something and got it. It was the only thing I ever wanted badly, Dot, and when I got it it turned to dust in my hand.
