“I have a very intrusive life, I guess you could say. I think that a lot of people know too much about me, truthfully.”

I only have a stylist when I go to big events, but even then, I give them moodboards to show exactly how I want to look, so I’m mostly in control. I dress myself on a daily basis, though.

One thing I love about Lady Gaga is I feel like her sound is always evolving and changing with her and her phases of life.

I hate nothing more than feeling rushed to write a song or feeling like I have to write a song.

I take off my makeup with coconut oil some nights. It sounds like it would clog your pores, but I swear it’s saved my skin.

I want to make music that I would like if it came on the radio.

I’m not perfect. I’m not polished.

I wanted to convey the message of how I do what I want and how I run my own business, and I’m a woman in charge. I want all of my fans to know that that’s possible and feel empowered when they listen to my music.

I always say when someone says something negative about me, it’s really saying something negative about them.

I’m not opposed to acting. I do like to act.

I just love music. I think it’s art.

Not every girl who wears makeup feels like, ‘Oh, I’m so ugly without it.’ I wear makeup because it’s fun to put on, and I feel pretty with it on.

I’m obsessed with make-up, but my top tip doesn’t actually involve any products. Beauty starts with glowing skin, and the way to ruin it is with dirty, clogged make-up brushes.

I was home-schooled my whole life, pretty much.

You should realize that there is only one version of yourself in the world and that your flaws make you beautiful.

I hope it never gets to that point that I’m gonna have people around me that are using me. I’m very good with noticing that.

The most beautiful people are those who are truly themselves, and that’s what I want to show my fans.

I love women. I’m trying to do beautiful things with them. I’m not trying to insult them. My life is not about that.

Much of spiritual life is self-acceptance, maybe all of it.

The greatest step towards a life of simplicity is to learn to let go.

The Lord breathes the breath of life, contrition of heart, into the face of the soul when he impresses upon it his own image and likeness, which has been soiled by sin, and renews it.

My passion. My commitment. This is the most important thing in my life other than my family.

My private life is perfect. If your private life and your life outside football is good, then it is good on the field for you.

Fear can infect us early in life until eventually it cuts a deep groove of apprehension in all our thinking. To counteract it, let faith, hope and courage enter your thinking. Fear is strong, but faith is stronger yet.

I conduct my life with an expectation that people will do the right thing. Yet even with all my experience, I am still surprised when they do not.
