“I’ve never wanted to be put into a box, not musically.”

I have always felt strongly about empowering women. I’m living proof that, with confidence and by believing in yourself, you can accomplish any goal.

I think it’s important to raise your kids, start ’em early. Teaching them the values and morals, so when they get out there on their own, you know they have it. They just have to remember to use it, but they have it.

I try to only commit myself to things that I think I can accomplish and commit myself to 100 percent. I try not to bite off more than I can chew.

If you try to follow everyone else’s mold, you’ll probably fail at some point because God created us uniquely for a reason.

I feel anger and I feel understanding. It’s a difficult position to be in.

A confident woman is a sexy woman, in my opinion. And I think guys find that to be the same way.

I made decisions that I regret, and I took them as learning experiences… I’m human, not perfect, like anybody else.

I feel like every woman is a queen, and we should be treated as such, and we should, you know, sort of request that sort of treatment from others.

You can’t let fear paralyze you. The worse that can happen is you fail, but guess what: You get up and try again. Feel that pain, get over it, get up, dust yourself off and keep it moving.

You do silly things for love sometimes and not-so-smart things for love.

There is nothing like a person with confidence, male or female, not conceitedness, but confidence. That inspires other people.

I am a strong woman with or without this other person, with or without this job, and with or without these tight pants.

Living for today will bring about dying for today. You can’t just think, ‘I’m going to die anyway,’ because that’s what’s stopping us from moving forward.

For me, it might sound cliche, but beauty for me really does start on the inside. It’s like a state of mind, a state of love if you will. Then, whatever you can do on the outside is all like a bonus.

Life’s not about sitting at home in front of the TV waiting for your life to begin. Get out there and take some chances.

Don’t you want to know what’s real and what’s not? I remember when I was a kid, you know, this whole Cold War thing. They had us scared of the Russians. So, it’s almost like, what’s real and what’s not?

The vision of the eye is limited; the vision of the heart transcends all barriers of time and space.

You could say coins are issued by the majority. They are issued in a limited, predetermined amount.

I have no limits. I cannot be contained because I am the container.

L.O.V.E. Such a good word. Such a limitless word. Such a limitless concept.

The most unfortunate thing that happens to a person who fears failure is that he limits himself by becoming afraid to try anything new.

The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppose.

I truly believe there should be no time limit to childhood.

To confine our attention to terrestrial matters would be to limit the human spirit.
