“I’m such a control freak, and it’s very hard for me to lose my inhibitions without something chemical inside me.”

I know I should stop smoking, but it scares me. I mean, what would I turn to next?

People are always so surprised when they meet me. Firstly, that I’m ‘so tiny’, and secondly that I’m ‘so sweet’. They seem surprised that they’re not scared of me.

Mistaken, always second guessing, underestimated, look I’m still around.

I’d rather bleed with cuts of love than live without any scars.

We hate so fast and we love too slow.

It takes a lot of people years to turn a negative into a positive. It takes me, like, an album.

The willow is my favorite tree. I grew up near one. It’s the most flexible tree in nature and nothing can break it – no wind, no elements, it can bend and withstand anything.

Big productions, to me, are great – like, I love going to Vegas and seeing shows – but I think that sometimes it’s distracting, especially when you are there to listen to the music.

My mom has always wished me a daughter just like me.

This life gets lonely when everybody wants something.

For so long, I was searching for something to be proud of. But at a certain point, I realized, ‘Wait, I’m doing what I want to be doing. I’m not wanting to do it; I’m doing it.’ And that’s awesome.

Change the voices in your head. Make them like you instead.

My fans mean more to me than they will ever know. I call these people my friends and my confidence and if they are here to see me and they are here to support me, then that’s all I need in life.

You can’t be creative when you’re completely happy.

Gotta get up and try.

I don’t think imitation is the highest form of flattery, I think it’s annoying.

I’m a human being and I fall in love and sometimes I don’t have control of every situation.

I’m a human being and I fall in love and sometimes I don’t have control of every situation.

You’ve gotta keep control of your time, and you can’t unless you say no. You can’t let people set your agenda in life.

God is directing your steps. He may not have sent the storm, but He is in control of the storm.

I love directing, I really do. The whole concept of being in control of a presentation, particularly a movie or a show where you’re dealing with actors and crew.

Vulnerability is not about winning or losing. It’s having the courage to show up even when you can’t control the outcome.

Evolution is not a genetically controlled distortion of one adult form into another; it is a genetically controlled alteration in a developmental program.

You have it in your control to determine what this country’s gonna look like the next four years.
