When you're the cash cow that lays the golden goose egg, people are always going to cheer you on, whatever.

I'm a happy-go-lucky character. I'm not that miserable. But I can never let anyone into my world.

We're not arrogant, we just believe we're the best band in the world.

We need each other, We believe in one another, And I know we're gonna uncover, What's sleepin' in our soul...

I'm embarrassed when I see Brits abroad; they have their tops off, wear flip flops, and shout at the top of their voices.

If everyone in the music business were brutally honest about what their intentions were then you could sort things out, but it's all smoke and mirrors.

You gotta say what you say, Don't let anybody get in your way...

In business, you can have one massive success that earns $50 million overnight, and that's it. You're successful. End of story. But in the music business, you have to keep on doing it.

You can't be a mod and a rocker. You have to choose sides.

Those who don't say what they mean will live and die by their own sword.

You've just got to trust your instincts and realize that you can't please all the people all the time. You've got to please yourself ultimately in the end.

When you give up because challenges arise, you are just too ignorant about the power of the gifts you carry within you.

Resistance carves you into strength.

It's as if when you love someone, they become your reason.

Los Angelenos dress like they've been focus-grouped.

At least I carpe'd that one diem.

There were moments from my childhood when I remembered realizing that I was too big. I carried them around as weapons to use against myself, to remind myself there was something wrong with me.

There's no way that you can stop nature.

There is a certain pleasure in weeping.

Let me tell you something: The only thing that separates women of color from anyone else is opportunity. You cannot win an Emmy for roles that are simply not there.

The revolution will come from the people and the willingness to work towards something better, to fight for a better living.
