There are a lot of things that come easy, but they're not necessarily worth it. Anything worth having, you work hard for. That's how I feel I am.

There are no one dimensional people.

Musically, I think I change music like I change clothes! What I listen to on a day to day basis is really contingent upon my mood and what's going on in my life.

People can say whatever they want about whatever they want.

When you're used to making your money a certain way, especially when you fall in love with the way you're doing it, going back to pursue your true passion can be kind of nerve wracking.

A lot of times people have you pegged for what you are, and that's what you are and need to stay in. Going from an actress into my true passion for other people, it may seem kind of backwards.

I think I'm a dime, I think I'm amazing, I think I'm blessed and a blessing to whoever gets me next. I think that person has to understand that because that's the way I'm going to treat them as well.

You go through so much with the heartache, the pain, the nonsense, the games, and it's easy to lose sight of the possibility of love.

I just wanted to make sure I had the music true to me and the life I'm living and to what I really want to say. That's super important to me.

I think music is such an extension of who we are, and the fact that I've gone through as much as I have, good, bad, and ugly, has really helped to shape the songs that I picked.

I think that as women sometimes, we put ourselves secondary because we kind of lose ourselves and the part of us that makes us awesome.

People are shaped by friendship as much as by romance.

Unremembered and afar I watched as I watched a star, Through darkness struggling into view And I loved you better than you knew.

More details, more devils.

We generally write best of what we ourselves have seen.

I think culture's always been violent, and it is something we find very entertaining. Not only does it reflect our social reality, but it also reflects our psychic reality.

If carrots are good for my eyes, how come I see so many dead rabbits on the highway?

While the mind sees only boundaries, Love knows the secret way there.

Everyone knows that marriage is the biggest personal decision you make, but it's the biggest career decision you can make.

To articulate the past historically does not mean to recognize it "the way it really was"...It means to seize hold of a memory as it flashes up at a moment of danger.

O constancy, be strong upon my side, Set a huge mountain 'tween my heart and tongue! I have a man's mind, but a woman's might.
