“I really rebel against authority.”

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.

It’s kinda like being on a roller coaster. If you don’t get on the ride, you won’t experience the adventure.

There’s an answer, if you reach into your soul, and the sorrow that you know will melt away.

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 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.

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.
