Your fear seems to hide deep inside your mind

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.

I don't read books to finish them, I read to consume them.

You should be kissed and often and by someone who knows how. -Rhett Bulter, Gone with the Wind” ― Margaret Mitchell

Hatred makes you weak where else love makes you vulnerable. There's a difference.

He that fears not the future may enjoy the present.

You must be aware that most men (and also not only a few women) are by nature not monogamous. This nature makes itself even more forceful when tradition and circumstance stand in an individual's way.

Just because a guy rings your bell, doesn't mean you have to toot his horn.

I do like writing songs in a band. When it's rock, it's such a different kind of dynamic, obviously.

Virtue must be valuable, if men and women of all degrees pretend to have it.

A good proof is one that makes us wiser.
