“I do not care what people think.”

I’m not at the point where I’d feel safe in a house alone. I would be really scared. I’m the kind of person that when I get up to go use the bathroom I have this big long hallway, and I just know someone’s going to jump out and get me.

I like meeting all my fans and signing autographs, although it can all get a bit crazy. Yesterday, for example, a boy just came over and planted a big kiss on my face! I was like, Hello?

When you’re comfortable with someone you love, silence is the best.

I don’t really have time to sit down and write. But when I think of a melody, I call up my answering machine and sing it, so I won’t forget it.

I have come back  [to the music scene] so many times, people are just like, Is this another one? It’s kind of like a joke to me now.

Always be careful dealing with your cards when you have a queen of hearts in your mind.

I have to live my life. I have a family and I just think it’s absurd to let other people influence the way you live.

I’ve always followed my heart and pursued my dreams, and I imagine that people find it inspiring.

Being famous is just a job.

I’m a very private person. Sometimes I’m in denial that I’m really famous.

I just sing what I’m feeling at the time and hope my fans will like that and appreciate that.

I go out with friends, but I don’t have time to get in trouble.

I hear her bite is deadly! Be careful ladies and gentlemen.

Riding is my favorite thing to do.

It’s always nice to have those WTF moments that keep us aware.

I find it so funny that people find me interesting.

Only if we understand, will we care. Only if we care, will we help. Only if we help, shall all be saved.

We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.

Only if we understand, can we care. Only if we care, we will help. Only if we help, we shall be saved.

Love is a thing that is full of cares and fears.

Many people need desperately to receive this message: ‘I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone.

Be careful out there; I hear humans get killed for wearing the wrong skin.

I remember I read this harsh review about my show, and one of my friends told me that this was the exact same stuff people said about Madonna. And it’s like, she didn’t care. Madonna just came out and was herself. I respect that a lot.

This may be the fundamental problem with caring a lot about what others think: It can put you on the established path–the my-isn’t-that-impressive- path– and keep you there for a long time.
