If he invited you out, he's got to pay.

I don't feel like I have to please anyone. I feel free. I feel like I'm an adult. I'm grown. I can do what I want. I can say what I want. I can retire if I want. That's why I've worked hard.

I have nine Grammy Awards. I wouldn't have that if I couldn't sing.

When you're a pop star, it's a little conservative; you always have to stay in a box. You have fans that are five and fans that are 65; there are so many people wanting so many things.

You know, equality is a myth, and for some reason, everyone accepts the fact that women don't make as much money as men do. I don't understand that. Why do we have to take a backseat?

Most women don't want to take the time to figure out their style. It's okay to experiment a little bit, but don't get too far from what looks good on you.

I always try to be myself. Ever since I was an introverted kid, I'd get on stage and be able to break out of my shell.
