I want to raise my own baby. I don't want my baby crying for some other strange lady, some nanny. I am not down with that.

A role model can teach you to love and respect yourself.

I don't care how much money you have in the world. It's not about that. It's all about time.

I want to live. I didn't have time to die.

I had an attitude problem when I was a kid. I'm not gonna lie.

I've traveled the world in one of the best groups ever. I'm 42.

It's amazing what miracles and little angels and pure love around you can bring out.

I have learned to smile when I wasn't happy, to sing when I didn't feel like it, and to do things just to please my fans.

Love me sweet With all thou art Feeling, thinking, seeing; Love me in the Lightest part, Love me in full Being.

I believe that I'm entitled to regard my pre-political life as off-limits in terms of what can be looked at and judged.

Our generosity never should exceed our abilities.

Strangers are family you haven't recognize yet

Just as with running, there were days that I didnt feel like writing; I wrote anyways.

But I’ve never seen the Icarus story as a lesson about the limitations of humans. I see it as a lesson about the limitations of wax as an adhesive.
