“Sometimes it takes a tragedy to bring people together, Other times it just takes music.”

If God is the DJ, then Life is the dance floor; Love is the rhythm and You are the music.

Long-term relationships are an everyday choice. It’s harder to be in a marriage than it is to bounce from one relationship to the next.

I can turn heartbreak into songs that help other people.

I was a very defensive kid ’cause I was really sensitive underneath and didn’t want people to know. So I came off as very tough and very angry.

On her daughter: And she’s going through all these changes. You know, it’s just crazy times.

The aggressive side of me comes across in my music, but I’m just a sweet girl.

I’m taking my rats. Those are my friends for the tour. Thelma and Louise. They’re so cute.

The problem was, I was labeled as trouble – so I was like, ‘Trouble? I’ll show you trouble. You want trouble, well here it is!’ No matter what label they give you, the best thing you can do is prove them wrong.

The last time I checked, the only difference between my gay friends and I is who we choose to love. I’m not sure how that warrants a loss of rights, but it needs to stop. What ever happened to liberty and justice for all?

I have never really encountered anybody that was rude to me. Well, not to my face anyway.

I will never be a stupid girl… and neither should you. Today, charting your own course isn’t just more necessary than ever before… it’s also much easier — and much more fun. A good education is one of the greatest gifts you could ever give yourself.

I’m about to make people forget about Madonna.

I’ve always felt that animals are the purest spirits in the world. They don’t fake or hide their feelings, and they are the most loyal creatures on Earth. And somehow we humans think we’re smarter-what a joke.

I think you learn more about yourself in the context of a relationship than you can outside of it.

I love the shows that are in dingy little dark clubs, smoky, no production whatsoever.

We’re not broken, just bent, and we can learn to love again.

You got to be careful of the company you keep.

When you learn to get along with yourself, you will know how to get along with everybody.

I’ve always had lots of friends and my house was the house they all hung out at.

The biggest price you pay for love is that you have to have somebody around, you can’t be on your own, which is always so much better.

Good books are as friends, willing to give to us if we are willing to make a little effort.

I still like doing stand-up now, but it’s not the same. It used to be that I was out there with five other comedians. Now I usually just do it alone.

It is with a company as it is with a punch, everything depends upon the ingredients of which it in composed.

A strategy delineates a territory in which a company seeks to be unique.
