“Take all the rules away. How can we live if we don’t change?”

We have to teach our girls that they can reach as high as humanly possible.

Who runs the world? Girls.

I’m learning how to drown out the constant noise that is such an inseparable part of my life. I don’t have to prove anything to anyone, I only have to follow my heart and concentrate on what I want to say to the world. I run my world.

The most alluring thing a woman can have is confidence.

I went to a high school for the performing arts and I lived and breathed music. It kept me focused; it kept me sane.

A woman is most beautiful when she smiles.

When you’re famous, no one looks at you as a human anymore. You become the property of the public.

Independnce comes from you knowing who you are and you being happy with yourself.

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.
