I absolutely love Nicole Scherzinger. She's worked really hard to get to where she is and really knows her stuff.

If you haven't got love, you've got nothing.

I like listening to old soul music. I like Sam Cooke. When I was growing up, the first things I was listening to was Whitney Houston and Cher. They were really big inspirations for me.

You meet someone, you care for them, and you fall in love; it's what it is.

I don't tend to lie. If I do, it's a little one. Like, 'I'm only around the corner...' when really I'm 10 minutes away.

I can't watch my first audition because it makes me too upset. I just think it is really sad. I look at myself and don't recognize myself. I do think fame and fortune changes people.

I like to write poetry.

I'm not afraid of a rant, am I? I've got to that point where I've just become a woman; I think I've just grown.

Constantly having to think about money is not nice. People used to say, 'Being rich doesn't make you happy'. And I'd think, 'I've got no electricity, nothing - tell that to my empty fridge'.

If you are not happy with the song, don't sing it. Simple as that - no-one forces you to do it.

I'd definitely like more kids when I'm older. And I think I'm like every woman in that I'd like to get married one day.

The easiest way for your children to learn about money is for you not to have any.

They think they are invincible. But, the truth is, Nova––gods fall just as hard as mortals. The only difference is... gods do not see the fall coming until it is too late.

This (Paris,France) wouldn't be a bad place, but it's full of Frenchmen.

I love dancing, but I'm not that good of a singer. I sang in punk rock bands in high school and college and stuff, but that mostly involved lots of screaming.

I literally don't know what I'm going to do next. That's successful.

One life matters - especially to the one whose life it is.

We have not the innocence of Eden; but by God's help and Christ's example we may have the victory of Gethsemane.

What an absurd amount of energy I have been wasting all my life trying to find out how things 'really are', when all the time they weren't.

The past not merely is not fugitive, it remains present.

Words alone cannot fully convey the realities of the soul or the greatness of the human spirit.
