Feeling like you're respected among the people who do the same thing you do is incredible and necessary.

Be like snow - cold, but beautiful.

Be Young, Be Dope, Be Proud.

I am nostalgic of an era I never knew.

What other people think of me is none of my business. Sometimes, it hurts my feelings, but I have to just keep going.

No matter how many people give me advice, I am going to do what my heart tells me to do

Being brave means knowing that when you fail, you don't fail forever.

They judge me like a picture book, by the colors, like they forgot to read.

Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful? Will you still love me when I've got nothing but my aching soul?

Sometimes I wish I was a beautiful machine so I could resist your kiss and not cry when you're mean.

In New York I pretty much live in diners - I order French Fries, Diet Coke floats and lots of coffee.

You can't exploit a woman who has based her entire career on exploiting herself.

Never stir up litigation. A worse man can scarcely be found than one who does this.

It is a good idea for everyone who does not have contra-indications to receive a flu shot.

I don't think in business it matters whether you're a man or a woman if you can do your job and have a brain.

I have a child to feed and a spirit that can't be crushed, so I'm able to move ahead.

I think especially boys have a competitive streak when they're 12.

The most important of my discoveries have been suggested to me by failures.

You can't behave in a calm, rational manner. You've got to be out there on the lunatic fringe.

There's a part of me that would love to be in an action movie where I get to run around and punch people in the face and, whatever, be a murderer, I don't care!

Go out on the stage as a human being and do not be afraid to show struggle in your music. It's a struggle in life and then struggle and then victory.
