“I don’t think you can be too ashamed of anything as long as you were being yourself. I think why people feel, um, so entitled over me is that they’ve watched me grow up. But that’s a blessing and a curse.”

It’s the little things that make us who we are in the bigger world.

There are times in my life where I’ve had boyfriends or girlfriends.

If someone tells you you’re not beautiful, turn around and walk away so they can have a great view of your fabulous ass.

When you’re younger, you’re more selfish, because there’s so much self-exploration, you’re in your own mind.

It is important to ask yourself why you’re doing what you’re doing and what purpose it serves in the big picture.

For me the most important thing is being a really good person, and that doesn’t depend on what you do on stage, that depends on how you treat people when you’re offstage.

Always look forward and try to push pass the negativity. I think everyone’s beautiful and they deserve to be happy no matter what.

I tell people, you know, going to the club doesn’t make me a bad person, going to church doesn’t make you a good one.

I think that if you’re doing something that’s important, that’s significant in your life, it takes some of the pain away.

Life is all about having a good time.

But I don’t necessarily define my faith by going to church every Sunday.

I know what I’m doing. I know I’m shocking you.

I think there are always going to be things that you’re going to want to do. It’s about picking yourself back up and starting again.

You deal. You survive. You grow up and you build a career. And you remember these big/little hardships. They make you human.

Even the hard times are part of your life story. If you acknowledge them and move past them, they eventually add up to the experience that makes you wise.

There’s no better feeling than making somebody smile.

You will never love another the same way, again. And I’m still trying to figure out if that’s a blessing or a tragedy.

My birth was a blessing. Sent to live and die on Earth; it’s a blessing. We each have a star; all you have to do is find it. Once you do, everyone sees it, you won’t be blinded.

My blessings always consistent but I’m still prepared for the worst.

The fame isn’t important to me. It’s a blessing to have. Having so many people that support me, that love me and listen to my music, is beautiful.

I think that by staying true to myself and making music from my heart, the blessings come.

Having strong enemies is a blessing.

I’m a blessing to whoever gets to really know me.

A lot of people, we want a miracle, we want a huge blessing. People will forget that a miracle will only happen on the platform of a tragedy.
