“True diva could not live without smart remark every now and then, a good sip of water.”

I’m experimenting with my voice. Every day I do different things with it, and if I feel it’s appropriate I do it on the record.

It’s kinda like being on a roller coaster. If you don’t get on the ride, you won’t experience the adventure.

There’s an answer, if you reach into your soul, and the sorrow that you know will melt away.

Suffered from alienation,carried the weight on my own,had to be so strong,so I believed,and now I know I’ve succeeded,in finding the place I conceived.

I hope to be around past the 90’s. I don’t want to just be categorized as one of this era. My goal is to have a career that stands.

I do not think I reinvent myself. Wearing my hair differently or changing my style of dress is playing dress-up. I don’t take it too seriously.

Standing alone,eager to just believe,it’s good enough to be what you really are,but in your heart,uncertainty forever lies,and you’ll always be,somewhere on the outside.

You really have to look inside yourself to find your inner strength.

There’s a hero if you look inside your heart. You don’t have to be afraid of what you are.

I work myself into the ground. But I think I’m a nice friend and a good person, and I try to do my work as best I can.

Pregnancy was probably the best and the hardest thing I’ll ever go through. I know for a lot of women, it can be wonderful and relatively easy.

You can fight against people, and fight to the death, but can’t control the world.

In this world, I call the shots and I think I know best.

I know you’re shining down on me from Heaven, like so many friends we’ve lost along the way. And I know eventually we’ll be together, one sweet day.

The best part of making music, for me, is collaborating and working with new people and fresh sounds and all those things that get people excited to continue in this business that we all love so much.

If you see me as just the princess then you misunderstand who I am and what I have been through.

you parrot negative things and squawk about the things you don’t love, you are literally jailing yourself, like a parrot in a cage. Every time you talk about what you don’t love, you are adding another bar to the cage and you are locking yourself away from all the good.

The worst thing a good girl could do to you is break your heart.

I have good legs, and why to hide them?

A lot of different races and nationalities play football, so it is a good way to try and stop racism.

Well, my mom was an Olympian, so we have some good genes on that front.

Well, my mom was an Olympian, so we have some good genes on that front.

Well, my mom was an Olympian, so we have some good genes on that front.

God is letting me shine, because I’ve got a good heart.
