“I don’t understand the whole dating thing. I know right off the bat if I’m interested in someone, and I don’t want them to waste their money on me and take me out to eat if I know I’m not interested in that person.”

I like meeting all my fans and signing autographs, although it can all get a bit crazy. Yesterday, for example, a boy just came over and planted a big kiss on my face! I was like, Hello?

When you’re comfortable with someone you love, silence is the best.

I don’t really have time to sit down and write. But when I think of a melody, I call up my answering machine and sing it, so I won’t forget it.

I have come back  [to the music scene] so many times, people are just like, Is this another one? It’s kind of like a joke to me now.

Always be careful dealing with your cards when you have a queen of hearts in your mind.

I have to live my life. I have a family and I just think it’s absurd to let other people influence the way you live.

I’ve always followed my heart and pursued my dreams, and I imagine that people find it inspiring.

Being famous is just a job.

I’m a very private person. Sometimes I’m in denial that I’m really famous.

I just sing what I’m feeling at the time and hope my fans will like that and appreciate that.

I go out with friends, but I don’t have time to get in trouble.

I hear her bite is deadly! Be careful ladies and gentlemen.

Riding is my favorite thing to do.

It’s always nice to have those WTF moments that keep us aware.

I find it so funny that people find me interesting.

I think it’s important to set up that boundary of respect for your kids at a young age, so they will know, I better listen to Mommy.

Make more than the guys you thought you wanted to be with.

Class is more than money. Class is also about knowledge.

I’d rather have money and be broken-hearted than be broke and broken-hearted.

Money doesn’t mean anything to me. I’ve made a lot of money, but I want to enjoy life and not stress myself building my bank account.

Of the billionaires I have known, money just brings out the basic traits in them. If they were jerks before they had money, they are simply jerks with a billion dollars.

The political system is not for the people. The people are secondary to the economy. It’s about what generates money, not about what benefits the people.

I think I am still underpaid. I want to make as much money as my male counterparts.

You have to live on emotions, not on money or illusions.
