Life has a balance and natural order. I'm not fighting the flow anymore. My career right now is very up. It's happening naturally and it's happening well.

The music industry had virtually blacklisted me.

I am very intense. I can't help it. That's the way I am. You can't be in this business without being intense. The pressure and tension get to you; it can't help but show on you.

I'm a woman with a mission. I've learned to believe in myself, my vision and to do things the way I want them done.

My mother always wanted to be in show business, but her parents discouraged her. So when I started performing for the mirror she enrolled me in dancing, singing and piano lessons.

All of a sudden, I was hearing stories about how difficult I was to work with, ridiculous rumors about drugs and what a diva I was. I never had to go to rehab or a program.

Cara is not my real name, and I'm not going to tell you what it is. Only because I do live in New York and enough people already know who my parents are.

I play piano and write better than I can sing.

I've had my bubblegum years and I did them well. Now it's time to come back as the woman, artist, and musician that I am without apologizing.

I liked performing, but not the struggle.

I'll never be that trusting again, believing accountants and lawyers have my best interests at heart.

It is impossible to graduate from the University of Life with no scars.

It is not what you think should be, but what is, that is interesting. When you have the expectation that something should be such and such a way, you will never learn what your nature wants.

To be a legend, you've either got to be dead or excessively old.

It's important in any project to remain focused.

There's things that happen in a person's life that are so scorched in the memory and burned into the heart that there's no forgetting them.

I have an extraordinary attention span. I manage to juggle two or three different ideas at the same time, and that's probably, if I have a gift, that's probably the best gift that's given me.

I figured that if anyone could be wildly popular in one town, then that could be replicated everywhere, all you have to do is get the word out.

I'm very skeptical about the good intentions of Milosevic.

I hate the murderer, love him murdered.

Success comes from repeated efforts day in and day out. You learn from your mistakes, make adjustments and continue pressing forward until you achieve the results you desire.
