“If you can believe in something great, then you can achieve something great.”

Sometimes if you want to achieve something great, there will be curveballs. You just have to dodge them every once in a while.

I was like, I don’t know if I can hold that promise [to wait until marriage to have sex] because this guy at camp is really cute. Sex wasn’t talked about in my home, but I was a very curious young girl.

After a hurricane, comes a rainbow.

I’ve done a lot of bad things. Use your imagination.

I’m either going to go completely mental, completely bankrupt, or have the best success of my life.

Thank you for believing in my weirdness!

I love what I do, and when I don’t love what I do, I’ll make a change, I can’t be the candy queen forever.

So glad my moon found its sun, love you the whole world doe.

I come from a very non-accepting family but I’m very accepting.

If you’re presenting yourself with confidence, you can pull off pretty much anything.

NEW YORK! I love you! You’re OFFICIALLY the coolest place on the planet!

I don’t need the Prince Charming to have my own happy ending.

I’m just singing about my own life. Singing about all the little stories in my life and the things I’ve been through.

I really like to look like a history book. I can look the 1940s, I can look 1970s hippie-chic, or sometimes I’ll pull that ’80s Brooklyn hip-hop kid with the door-knocker earrings.

So you can open one that leads you to the perfect road.

There’s a spark in you you’ve just gotta ignite the light and let it shine.

Review your goals twice every day in order to be focused on achieving them.

It is time for us all to stand and cheer for the doer, the achiever – the one who recognizes the challenges and does something about it.

It’s always difficult for anyone trying to compete against their past achievements.

Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty.

Achievable goals are the first step to self improvement.

To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to.

There is no pain worse than not achieving a dream when it is your fault. If God did not want you to have it, that is one thing. But if you do not get what you desire because you are lazy, there is no pain worse than that.

There is no harm in dreaming of becoming the world’s best player. It is all about trying to be the best. I will keep working hard to achieve it but it is within my capabilities.
