“My message behind this album was finding the beauty in imperfection.”

Don’t try to lessen yourself for the world; let the world catch up to you.

Take all the rules away. How can we live if we don’t change?

We’re all going through our problems, but we all have the same insecurities and we all have the same abilities and we all need each other.

I felt like it was time to set up my future, so I set a goal. My goal was independence.

The more successful I become, the more I need a man.

Do what you were born to do. You just have to trust yourself.

What goes around comes back around.

If I hadn’t gone through some of the painful experiences in my life, I would not be me.

We need to reshape our own perception of how we view ourselves. We have to step up as women and take the lead.

I mean, I feel like you get more bees with honey. But that doesn’t mean I don’t get frustrated in my life.

I’m always happy when I’m surrounded by water, I think I’m a Mermaid or I was a mermaid.

The ocean makes me feel really small and it makes me put my whole life into perspective, it humbles you and makes you feel almost like you’ve been baptized. I feel born again when I get out of the ocean.

Have your own life before you become somebody’s wife.

I’m a workaholic and I don’t believe in ‘no.’ If I’m not sleeping, nobody’s sleeping.

A true diva is graceful, and talented, and strong, and fearless and brave and someone with humility.

I was thinkin if I cheated on my fears, broke up with my doubts, got engaged to my faith. I can marry my dreams.

The beauty of things must be that they end.

I don’t know about changing my perspective, because motherhood is such a glorious blessing and I am very thankful for that. It is such a beautiful experience. I so strongly recommend it. It’s bliss, love, and fulfillment of another level.

The emerging woman will be strong-minded, strong-hearted, strong-souled, and strong-bodied strength and beauty must go together.

It requires a certain kind of mind to see beauty in a hamburger bun.

Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead.

I believe that sex is one of the most beautiful, natural, wholesome things that money can buy.

The power of finding beauty in the humblest things makes home happy and life lovely.

It’s her black wings that make her beautiful.
