I never wanted to go for the cute boys. Why would you wanna have a boyfriend that's cuter than you?

Act as young as you feel. You're not getting older; you're getting more entitled to be your fabulous self.

Sometimes you have to sacrifice your performance for high heels.

I wanted so badly to have a backup plan for when I'm not performing anymore. Let's be realistic: it's not going to be like this forever.

After you make a fool of yourself a few hundred times, you learn what works.

Life is short and you've got to get the most out of it.

Love is when you have a bad day but then you see the one you love and everything seems to be ok

Never say never. In your life you never know what's going to happen next.

No one can force me to do something unless I'm passionate about it.

I think I've been able to fool a lot of people because I know I'm a dork. I'm a geek.

My songs are basically my diaries. Some of my best songwriting has come out of time when I've been going through a personal nightmare.

I am a great mother.

I had only a little time left and I didn't want to waste it on God.

Just think of something that would be "wonderful" if it were only "possible". Then set out to make it possible.

It's just a little ranch. Thirty-five acres. In Texas, if it's not a thousand acres, it's considered a ranchette.

When you come into the world you have nothing... when you leave you have nothing... and in between there's the IRS.

Marble statues, engraved with public inscriptions, by which the life and soul return after death to noble leaders.

That's the thing about needs. Sometimes when you get them met, you don't need them anymore.

Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of those who mutilate the flesh!

The record producer is the music world's equivalent of a film director.
