I always believed it would happen and stuck to my guns.

It's not that I'm Mr. Goody-Two-Shoes now, but I've got my priorities in order.

I am happy to make money. I want to make more money, make more music, eat Big Macs and drink Budweisers.

I didn't come from a trailer park. I grew up middle class and my dad had money and my mom made my lunch. I got a car when I was sixteen. I'm proud of that.

They believed you can't mix rock, country, and rap, and that crossover is dead. I always knew it would work. And it will always work as long as you're really into it and like what you're doing.

I truly believe that people like myself, who are in a position of entertainers in the limelight, should keep their mouth shut on politics.

If I was president of the good old U.S.A., I'd turn the churches into strip clubs and watch the whole world pray.

I could care less about what people think. I'm a Devil Without A Cause.

You get what you put in and people get what they deserve.

I think what I've learned out of this lifetime is you should be proud of where you come from.

I was the little white kid who rocked the turntables

Even in dreams, you could not fall forever.

Well, it's really no use our talking in the way we have been doing if the words we use mean something different to each of us...and nothing.

Sometimes you just close your eyes and jump... you don't think too long or maybe you just won't. Sometimes you just follow your heart, don't analyze too long, or maybe it might just be gone.

One time I was hanging out with a girl and I wanted to kiss her. I was too nervous to do it, so I wrote ‘Can I kiss you?’ on a Post-It and handed it to her. And it worked!

...if fifty bands of men surrounded us/ and every sword sang for your blood,/ you could make off still with their cows and sheep.

It is lunacy to be bringing refugees into this country who may be terrorists trying to murder Americans.

Fighting for happiness is the hardest thing you'll ever fight for, but it's the only thing worth fighting for.

Maybe it's a sick fantasy of mine, but I am really looking forward to a debate between a general and a deserter. Plus, I really want to hear President Bush have to say, "Yes, General, No, General."

Don't make me have to choose between what I want and what you think I need. 'Cause I'll always be your little girl, but even little girls have got to dream.

If you're emotional and you're great at something, the money will follow.
