We all have our imperfections. But I'm human, and you know, it's important to concentrate on other qualities besides outer beauty.

When you're famous, no one looks at you as a human anymore. You become the property of the public.

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? I truly believe that women should be financially independent from their men. And let's face it, money gives men the power to run the show. It gives men the power to define value. They define what's sexy. And men define what's feminine. It's ridiculous.

I think I've realized that business and being polite [don't] match. You can be fair, but me being polite was not me being fair to myself.

Tatoo your name across my heart, so it will remain / not even death could make us part / what kind is it / It could be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare / either way I don't want to wake up from you.

I wanted to be famous for my music and my talent, and I always wished I could cut it out when I left the stage.

I am really proud that I am one of the artists that has the opportunity to be on magazine covers and to be in the movies.
