“My mother pretty much used to go along with my dad in that she wanted me to get an education so that if this incredible dream I had didn’t work out, I would have something to fall back on.”

I mean, it is the perfect situation to really love someone to death and to want to rip their clothes off at the same time, isn’t it?

I have definitely reached the same level as Madonna in terms of sales. I’m really pleased about that.

I have been taken for a ride a couple of times. I’ve been hurt by people who I’ve had a 90 percent possibility of being hurt by.

Be good to yourself ’cause nobody else has the power to make you happy.

You’ll never find peace of mind until you listen to your heart.

I find it difficult enough as it is to keep some kind of normality in my life. I enjoy this experience, but I don’t know where I’m going to take my career.

Everything was going my way. I was happily marching into the history books. Then it all just fell apart.

I have never thought about my sexuality being right or wrong. To me it has always been a case of finding the right person.

I suppose maybe if I had been an attractive child, I would have had less inclination to push my physical presence.

I have the audience I deserve. Or at least I have the audience that represents the kind of people that I like.

When you shake you ass, they notice fast. And some mistakes were built to last.

It’s really difficult trying to find the line where you don’t piss anybody off.

I have two sisters. My father is Greek and comes from a family of seven. My mother is English and comes from a family of five.

I don’t have joy in watching myself, whereas, actually, I quite like listening to my own music.

At a certain age I just stopped arguing. I realized that there was no way [my father] could see, because for him to approve of what I was doing, he would have to have some belief in me as a musician.

I’d never touch anything. I think it’s foolhardy to play around with the face that you’ve been given. To have a little snip or a tuck, I think, is really quite obscene.

Harry Potter’s like Santa Clause: something you can’t see but wish was real so badly that you end up believing in it.

Dreaming of the person you want to be is wasting the person you already are.

My dream is to live a good life and be loving, be close to God and be a good human being and bring peace to people.

Anyone can be able to achieve their dreams, and that’s what this organization does.

During your life, never stop dreaming. No one can take away your dreams.

Reading is the key that opens doors to many good things in life. Reading shaped my dreams, and more reading helped me make my dreams come true.

Happy are those who dream dreams and are ready to pay the price to make them come true.

Yet mad I am not and very surely do I not dream.
