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

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.

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

I’m really fortunate. I’m really happy, and I’m really really lucky to be where I am.

A lot of people are singing about how screwed up the world is, and I don’t think that everybody wants to hear about that all the time.

I think one of the reasons I pushed myself so hard and worked so hard is because I never felt special.

I never thought that I would have love again, but it’s amazing how the universe brings love to you.

Everyday is a holiday with me.

I am thinking of you in my sleepless solitude tonight.

If you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It’s a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn’t education. It’s history. It’s poetry.

When you are young, work to learn, not to earn.

I think it’s always good to learn a craft from scratch the real way, so that you’ve learned it from the basis, the raw bones, and then you have that to fall back on. I personally wouldn’t want it any other way.

There’s a bit of hidden magic in every mistake. The magic is called learning.

The Hindus have to learn a little bit of materialism from the West and teach them a little bit of spirituality.

I learned very soon to get along by myself.

Take Risks in Your Life If you Win, you Can Lead! If You Lose, You can Guide!

Men are most virile and most attractive between the ages of 35 and 55. Under 35 a man has too much to learn, and I don’t have time to teach him.
