“It’s not easy that everything you do, everybody has to come in and critique it and give their opinion. Sometimes it does help me and sometimes it hurts me as a person. That’s life. I have feelings.”

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

Only once in a lifetime love rushes in, changing you with the tide.

You can’t live with regrets. It’s about the journey.

If you just believe in me. I will love you endlessly.

See, I’m looking for a man that’ll rub me slow, make me sing real high when he goes down low.

I always felt like the rug could be pulled out from under me at anytime. And coming from a racially mixed background, I always felt like I didn’t really fit in anywhere.

I’m very hard on myself and I have too many issues.

I’m not one of those people that goes into details of my personal life on national TV to get attention. Some things are better left unsaid.

If you believe in yourself enough and know what you want, you’re gonna make it happen.

I’m really fortunate. I’m really happy, and I’m really really lucky to be where I am.

A lot of people are singing about how screwed up the world is, and I don’t think that everybody wants to hear about that all the time.

I think one of the reasons I pushed myself so hard and worked so hard is because I never felt special.

I never thought that I would have love again, but it’s amazing how the universe brings love to you.

Everyday is a holiday with me.

I am thinking of you in my sleepless solitude tonight.

I’m not a subscriber to walking into large corporate entities that I have to walk into and be waiting in line, because then I have to stand there.

If you want criticisms, read the dissenting opinions of the Court. That will give you criticisms.

You can’t be sensitive, because you’re going to get criticized. I don’t care who you are, you’re going to get criticized.

Merciless criticism and independent thinking are the two necessary traits of revolutionary thinking.

Worry is itself an illness, since worry is an accusation against Divine Wisdom, a criticism of Divine Mercy.

If people want to criticize me, that’s their issue.

The critics never ever one time fairly criticized my son.

If you really look at my lyrics, nobody’s exempt. Nobody’s exempt from observation, criticism or what I think is correction.

Why anyone, by dying, should thereby be declared beyond criticism, innocent of wrongdoing, suddenly filled with virtue and above reproach escapes me.
