“Keep working hard and you can get anything that you want.”

There is a bit of acting involved when you get in front of a camera for a video. Even when you perform onstage, you’re putting on a show.

There are certain things I want to keep to me. I don’t discuss my private life.

I’m a survivor and I can handle anything. I’m very confident about that.

That’s why I work every day. Ev-er-y day. I want to knock people out.

I wanna be the best at what I do. I wanna sing, I wanna dance, I wanna act. That’s about it.

It’s really a sad story, and I liked that. The songs on this album talk about relationships in every aspect.

I stay true to myself and my style, and I am always pushing myself to be aware of that and be original.

In film, you are a totally different person than in the video.

I have the time needed to support the album and tour.

If at first you don’t succeed. You can dust it off and try again. Dust yourself off and try again.

I see myself as sexy. If you are comfortable with it, it can be very classy and appealing.

Keep working hard and you can get anything that you want. If God gave you the talent, you should go for it. But don’t think it’s going to be easy. It’s hard!

It’s been so long and I’m lost without you, what am I gonna do? I been needin’ you, wantin’ you, wonderin’ if you’re the same and who’s been with you. Is your heart still mine? I wanna cry sometimes … I miss you.

I’ve been singing all my life. I’ve always wanted this. I sang in church, in school plays, and my parents gave me vocal lessons. My parents always said this was destined for me.

Everything is worth it. The hard work, the times when you’re tired, the times where you’re a bit sad… In the end, it’s all worth it because it really makes me happy. There’s nothing better than loving what you do.

It’s Friday and I’m ready to swing. Pick up my girls and hit the party scene.

It took us five hours to reach Tokyo, but I was really happy. I kept talking about myself, and didn’t hear anything about Nana. But now that I know you better; I know you wouldn’t say anything.

As expected life isn’t that sweet at all. When I came to Tokyo I thought I could achieve anything with my own two hands. It’s not like that.

I had a feeling that my generation-and me, also-we were naked. We did not belong to anything.

Selling high or low doesn’t mean anything. It has to do purely with the market.

I never regret anything.

The art always wins. Anything can happen to me, but the art will stay.

A meditative mind is at ease because it’s not trying to acquire anything.

We never had reports of Mullah Omar living luxuriously or making money in large quantities or anything like that.
