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

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.

I always felt like the rug could be pulled out from under me at anytime. And coming from a racially mixed background, I always felt like I didn’t really fit in anywhere.

I’m very hard on myself and I have too many issues.

I’m not one of those people that goes into details of my personal life on national TV to get attention. Some things are better left unsaid.

One gets on better in life if one is not over modest.

There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere.

Your life is your own. You mold it. You make it.

I think I am, therefore, I am. I think.

Unless your work gives you trouble, it is no good.

It is very easy to defeat someone, but it is very hard to win someone.

Know yourself and you will win all battles

If you don’t know, the thing to do is not to get scared, but to learn.
