“If it’s good music, it’s good music.”

I like writing about things that aren’t real.

I don’t even call them fans. I don’t like that. They’re literally just a part of my life; they’re a part of my family.

I’m in love, not with anybody else – Just with myself.

Don’t talk to me like you anybody.

I’m trying to show everybody that I’m a girl, and I’m five foot four, and you can do anything you want, no matter your gender. It’s your world, too!

Smiling makes me feel weak and not in control and not powerful and small.

Don’t feel bad for wanting to keep your family safe.

A bitch is a bitch but a dog is a mans best friend

People are terrified of me, and I want them to be.

What makes a song last is real content from a mind that is thinking a little bit harder about certain things. A lot of artists don’t really think that hard.

People think you have to go through something to write about it, and you absolutely do not. You can write about, like, a shoe. It’s a story.

if i’m not here to love you what am i here for.

I hate the idea of genres.

I love movement. I love moshing.

You’re italic, I’m in bold.

You’re italic, I’m in bold.

Golf in the interest of good health and good manners. It promotes self-restraint and affords a chance to play the man and act the gentleman.

We need Hawaii just as much and a good deal more than we did California. It is manifest destiny.

I feel like I’m way too young to wear such heavy makeup all the time. It’s just bad for your skin, but I’m always doing photo shoots or red carpets and events, so I obviously want to look good.

I lived in a project and didn’t have a good education. But, I’d listen to the preacher, who said that God would show me the way. Everything starts from that confidence.

I’m older, I’m matured… I’m looking forward to the years to come. Good years.

A good friend of mine was Lucy Ball. Her mother and my mother were best friends.

Don’t think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it’s good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art.

The bottom line is, I’m blessed with good health. On top of that, I don’t go around thinking ‘Oh, I’m 90, I better do this or I better do that.’ I’m just Betty. I’m the same Betty that I’ve always been. Take it or leave it.
