“Who runs the world? Girls.”

Power is not given to you. You have to take it.

Me, myself and I. That’s all I got in the end.

I embrace mistakes, they make you who you are.

Baby it’s you. You’re the one I love. You’re the one I need. You’re the only one I see.

Embrace your past, but live for now.

I love my job, but it’s more than that: I need it.

I used to want you so bad, I’m so through with that because honestly you turned out to be the best thing I never had!

Perfection is a disease of a nation.

Men and women balance each other out, and we have to get to a point where we are comfortable with appreciating each other.

There are times i hate you cause i cant erase the times you hurt me and put tears on my face.

I like to walk around with bare feet and I don’t like to comb my hair.

I wanted to sell a million records, and I sold a million records. I wanted to go platinum; I went platinum. I’ve been working nonstop since I was 15. I don’t even know how to chill out.

Acting is easier and smoother than singing – it’s less drama.

When you love and accept yourself, when you know who really cares about you, and when you learn from your mistakes, then you stop caring about what people who don’t know you think.

It’s easy to hear the voices of others and often very difficult to hear your own.

I think it’s important for women to be around other women and learn from each other.

She’s mad, but she’s magic. There’s no lie in her fire.

I don’t say women’s rights – I say the constitutional principle of the equal citizenship stature of men and women.

Speak you mind even if your voice shakes.

I want to be a Renaissance Woman. I want to paint, and I want to write, and I want to act, and I just want to do everything.

I am not ashamed of anything – not my past, not my affairs, not my body, and most definitely not my desire.

It’s so empowering to see so many people uniting over love and art.

Might be little, but I am loud!

A woman brought you into this world, so you have no right to disrespect one.
