“I have a personal ambition to live my life honestly and honor the true love that I’ve had and also the people I’ve had around me.”

When I walk outside, people have something to say about it.

I think that plain old intellectualism [can be] a more powerful force than the idea of the femme fatale.

With some of the bad things that come with love, there’s also a lot of good.

It takes getting everything you ever wanted and then losing it, to know what true freedom is

I am nostalgic of an era I never knew.

Money is the anthem, of succes, so put on your mascara and your party dress.

I used to wonder if it was God’s plan that I should be alone for so much of my life. But I found peace. I found happiness within people and the world.

I learned that there’s no reason why people decide they like music when they do.

In the end, I find my influences or inspirations where I can.

Sometimes, love feels like a life or death situation. Losing true love is pretty much as bad as it gets, other than actually dying or losing good health. Most people know that. Most people can relate. It’s like the end of the world.

I like to write about the way things used to be and paint pictures of my memories with beautiful words and melodies.

I mainly let my imagination be my reality. Fantasy is my reality.

I believe that there is no doubts about who I am, an artist who loves music, above everything.

I guess my strongest recurring theme is honoring love, even when it’s lost.

I lived where I could and studied what I enjoyed studying. I took what I wanted from that education but was making my first record at the same time.

Traditionally women have been more reticent to acknowledge their ambition and to say it with pride. So I like having people who work for us who are ambitious, engaged, respectful. Mis-hiring is a huge mistake. It’s a tremendous opportunity cost throwing the position to the wrong person.

Mr. Washington apologizes for injustice, he belittles the emasculating effects of caste distinctions, and opposes the higher training and ambitions of our brighter minds. The way for people to gain their reasonable rights is not by voluntarily throwing them away.

Philly gave me my ambition and drive to get more. It’s a reminder to stay on top of my game. That’s not a place I want to go back to.

Use the power of your mind. But don’t let your imagination dominate your ambitions.

So many worlds, so much to do, so little done, such things to be.

Don’t quack like a duck, soar like an eagle.

When it comes time to settle down, find someone who wants an equal partner. Someone who thinks women should be smart, opinionated, and ambitious.
