“I do suffer from depression, I suppose. Which isn’t that unusual. You know, a lot of people do.”

I never went round to loads of managers saying ‘this is what I have, this is my product and I’m going to be famous so you’d better sign me up.’ They came to me.

I would love to study guitar or trumpet.

I don’t understand, Why do I stress the man, When there’s so many bigger things at hand?

Music was my ultimate ambition but I liked all of it. I wanted to discipline myself in dance and acting too and I’d done all three since I was 9-years-old. I could sing, but I didn’t become a great singer.

Cause I’m a musician, I’m not really good at posing and being a model, like, modeling.

I know I’m talented, but I wasn’t put here to sing. I was put here to be a wife and a mom and look after my family.

I’m romantic. I fall in love every day. Not with people but with situations. The other day, I saw a tramp polishing his shoes. That just gripped my heart.

I’m a young woman and I’m going to write about what I know.

If you don’t throw yourself into something, you’ll never know what you could have had.

I’m a realist and a dreamer. There are certain things you can give certain people and certain things you can’t.

I saw a picture of myself when I came out of the hospital. I didn’t recognize myself.

If you’re nice to me I’ll never write anything bad about you.

I didn’t think it was special to be able to sing.

I fall in love every day. Not with people but with situations.

There are certain songs I cannot hear because they are so personal that it hurts me to listen.

Over futile odds, and laughed at by the gods And now the final frame. Love is a losing game.

These times are so hard, and they’re getting even harder.

I am trying to find myself. Sometimes that’s not easy.

Be vigilant; guard your mind against negative thoughts.

Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worst kind of suffering.

Depression is the most unpleasant thing I have ever experienced. It is that absence of being able to envisage that you will ever be cheerful again.

While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die.

Poverty entails fear and stress and sometimes depression. It meets a thousand petty humiliations and hardships.

If you don’t set the tone for the day, negative thoughts will set them for you.
