“Being brave enough to just be unapologetic for who you are‚ that’s a goddess.”

You’re your own best friend. If you love yourself and believe in yourself then it doesn’t really matter what other people think and then you’re kind of invincible.

Once I discovered how important writing music was to me and just what a huge weight it lifted off of me, I knew that it was going to be the biggest part of my life, the biggest love of my life, the biggest thing in my life.

I don’t think of anyone as a ‘groupie.’ People who connect with my music are just inspiring and amazing.

I’m not religious in any way but I am very spiritual. Music is holy to me. It’s like my religion. It’s sacred. It feels unearthly; it makes me feel a way that talking to somebody doesn’t make me feel, it’s something you can’t even wrap your head around. It’s not abstract, you can’t even grasp it – that’s what music is to me.

A role model for me is somebody who is really empathetic and has a calm strength to them. Sometimes you meet random people and they’re really inspiring because they seem wise; they’ve gone through things.

I had a really small role (playing goddess Aphrodite), and I was only working for just over a week with Ralph Fiennes and Liam Neeson.

Two goddesses now must Cyprus adore; The Muses are ten, and the Graces are four; Stella’s wit is so charming, so sweet her fair face, She shines a new Venus, a Muse, and a Grace.

To one, science is an exalted goddess; to another it is a cow which provides him with butter.

Every woman is a walking goddess.

Proceed, great chief, with virtue on thy sideThy every action let the goddess guide.

Let’s not forget that in India the symbol of strength is a woman; the goddess Shakti.

The glow from the southern sun lit up her face like a goddess divine.

In a world where everyone wants you to be a damsel in distress, be a raging goddess.
