“I hope to be around past the 90’s. I don’t want to just be categorized as one of this era. My goal is to have a career that stands.”

Suffered from alienation,carried the weight on my own,had to be so strong,so I believed,and now I know I’ve succeeded,in finding the place I conceived.

I do not think I reinvent myself. Wearing my hair differently or changing my style of dress is playing dress-up. I don’t take it too seriously.

Standing alone,eager to just believe,it’s good enough to be what you really are,but in your heart,uncertainty forever lies,and you’ll always be,somewhere on the outside.

You really have to look inside yourself to find your inner strength.

There’s a hero if you look inside your heart. You don’t have to be afraid of what you are.

I work myself into the ground. But I think I’m a nice friend and a good person, and I try to do my work as best I can.

Pregnancy was probably the best and the hardest thing I’ll ever go through. I know for a lot of women, it can be wonderful and relatively easy.

You can fight against people, and fight to the death, but can’t control the world.

In this world, I call the shots and I think I know best.

I know you’re shining down on me from Heaven, like so many friends we’ve lost along the way. And I know eventually we’ll be together, one sweet day.

The best part of making music, for me, is collaborating and working with new people and fresh sounds and all those things that get people excited to continue in this business that we all love so much.

If you see me as just the princess then you misunderstand who I am and what I have been through.

Only once in a lifetime love rushes in, changing you with the tide.

You can’t live with regrets. It’s about the journey.

If you just believe in me. I will love you endlessly.

See, I’m looking for a man that’ll rub me slow, make me sing real high when he goes down low.

Nothing extraordinary happens to a cricketer if you time his career – which is very short.

If anyone can figure out how to balance my celebrity and my dual careers in music and film, it’s me. I don’t feel frightened; I feel challenged.

I was writing since I can remember – I just didn’t know it was poetry yet, or that writing could be a career.

First I wanted to be a veterinarian. And then I realized you had to give them shots to put them to sleep, so I decided I’d just buy a bunch of animals and have them in my house instead.

Lil Wayne would probably be a big musical inspiration for me, because growing up I was just the biggest Wayne fan and being able to be signed to him and watch his whole journey to the peak of his career is great.

It was lovely to receive the affection from some of the supporters of our biggest rival, It doesn’t happen to you very often in your career.

I come from a family of doctors and engineers, and everyone expected me to take up a similar career. That was the most natural thing to do!

I never look back and think too much about my films. I’ve done some work I’ve been proud of over the years but which of them is my favourite I really don’t know. I could say the last one. I’ve had little jumps in my career like Unforgiven possibly.
