“It’s always been inside of you and now it’s time to let it through.”

So glad my moon found its sun, love you the whole world doe.

I come from a very non-accepting family but I’m very accepting.

If you’re presenting yourself with confidence, you can pull off pretty much anything.

NEW YORK! I love you! You’re OFFICIALLY the coolest place on the planet!

I don’t need the Prince Charming to have my own happy ending.

I’m just singing about my own life. Singing about all the little stories in my life and the things I’ve been through.

I really like to look like a history book. I can look the 1940s, I can look 1970s hippie-chic, or sometimes I’ll pull that ’80s Brooklyn hip-hop kid with the door-knocker earrings.

So you can open one that leads you to the perfect road.

There’s a spark in you you’ve just gotta ignite the light and let it shine.

If you’re watching are you clutching your pearls like I am?

I came from a lot of intolerance and prejudice, which aren’t necessarily healthy to evolve as a human.

I got this Jesus tattoo on my wrist when I was 18 because I know that it’s always going to be a part of me. When I’m playing, it’s staring right back at me, saying, ‘Remember where you came from.’

I’m really happy to be on the cover as a strong female who has created her own career.

I love the Seahawks because of Russell [Wilson] and I think that I’m going to probably go for them!

I wanted it to be like Amy Grant, but it didn’t plan out that way. My label actually went bankrupt, and I was left without a home.

I think you become more relatable when you’re vulnerable.

Decide where you are going and how you are to get there. Then make a start from where you now stand.

You can make something of your life. It just depends on your drive.

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

When you talk, you are only repeating what you already know. But if you listen, you may learn something new.

When you bless others, God will bless you. When you show favor, favor will come to you.

Once in your life, try something. Work hard at something. Try to change. Nothing bad can happen.

No one really knows why they are alive until they know what they’d die for.

Heard the bullets whistle, and, believe me, there is something charming in the sound.
