“If you believe in yourself enough and know what you want, you’re gonna make it happen.”

I still listen to older music a lot more than new singers. I listen to whatever’s on the radio, but when I want to listen to something that moves me I put on a Stevie Wonder record.

It’s hard to be someone that people talk about and write about, you know? They don’t know me.

We have to go through certain things in order to appreciate life and learn lessons.

It’s in my genes. My mother was an opera singer. I’m clearly dramatic.

when you feel like hope is gone, look inside you and be strong and you’ll finally see the truth- that hero lies in you.

Whatever you’re going through in your life, don’t ever give up.

When I saw you, when I saw you I could not breathe, I fell so deep. When I saw you, when I saw you I’d never be, I’d never be the same.

My heart has never been broken, I’ve never broken anyone else’s.

We’ve been expected to be perfect but we aren’t. We’re still human.

One doesn’t remain a teenager forever.

After every storm, if you look hard enough, a rainbow appears.

No stress, no fights. I’m leaving it all behind. No tears, no time to cry. Just making the most of life.

I really rebel against authority.

Never listen to anybody who try to discourage you.

You really just want to know that somebody loves you for you. Sometimes you feel like an ATM machine with a wig on it.

I’m experimenting with my voice. Every day I do different things with it, and if I feel it’s appropriate I do it on the record.

If you truly pour your heart into what you believe in, even if it makes you vulnerable, amazing things can and will happen.

You might not believe it but you make the world a better place when you smile.

While it is always best to believe in one’s self, a little help from others can be a great blessing.

I believe in free love and that’s just how I feel.

It is absolutely safe to say that if you meet somebody who claims not to believe in evolution, that person is ignorant, stupid or insane.

Vulnerable ain’t easy believe me, but I go there.

You have to believe in yourself, that’s the secret.

I believe that the most important single thing, beyond discipline and creativity is daring to dare.
