“My dad was like a stage mother he always pushed me to do what I wanted.”

I’m the first to admit this whole salary thing is getting out of control. In the final analysis, it’s still about the work.

I’m making a conscious choice to see challenges as beneficial so that I can deal with them in the most productive way.

Solitude is dangerous. It’s very addictive.

Madness is never that far away. It’s as close as saying yes to the wrong impulse.

The early bird gathers no moss! The rolling stone catches the worm.

Your need for acceptance can make you invisible in this world. Don’t let anything stand in the way of the light that shines through this form. Risk being seen in all of your glory.

I tend to stay up late, not because I’m partying but because it’s the only time of the day when I’m alone and don’t have to be performing.

But, you know, you can’t be a star at home.

Choose love, and don’t ever let fear turn you against your playful heart.

I’m very serious about no alcohol, no drugs. Life is too beautiful.

As far as I can tell, it’s just about letting the universe know what you want and then working toward it while letting go of how it comes to pass.

I think I could go away tomorrow. I’ve already accomplished something. It’s such a selfish business that sometimes I get sick of myself.

I really want to love somebody. I do. I just don’t know if it’s possible forever and ever.

I’ve never been one to sit back and go, ‘I’d better do what the audience wants me to do, because I don’t want to lose them.’

If you’ve got a talent, protect it.

Isn’t it cool when the days that are supposed to feel good, actually do?

Ill paddle board, swim in the ocean, roll in the sand, soak up the sun, eat good food, be with friends and family and go fishing with my dad.

I was pretty sad. But he was probably right; I did have a voice a bit like a goat, but my dad told me to never give up and to keep going, and it’s paid off.

My dad is a doctor, a professor of psychiatry, and my mum is a psychotherapist.

My dad once told me that the secret to a happy life was never to start something with a girl unless you were willing to follow wherever it led. It’s the best piece of advice he has ever given me, and probably the reason I was born.

My dad used to say, ‘Just be yourself and you’ll be fine,’ but it’s really, really true.

My dad never pushed me but the big thing is that he helped me by going out in the backyard and playing with me.

Losing dad (Bobby Bonds) was the worst thing in the world.

My dad would call me his Cuban princess because I had really dark olive skin because I was always in the sun; but I don’t really go in the sun anymore, so that is why I am so white.
