I've never watched an entire episode of 'American Idol'. It's too mean.

I got along better with the guys than with the girls. Only two girls came up to talk to me. Later I found out they were telling their boyfriends, 'If you talk to her, I'll kill you.' It's always rough with that high school thing.

When my parents fought, I'd run up to my room, put on The Sound of Music, open the window and sing out. My voice was my escape. I saw it as a way out.

Power is making a statement about who you are.

It's impossible to redefine yourself and your life overnight.

I'm an artist, and expressing myself in a sexual way, no matter how that changes throughout the years, is something that has always come naturally to me. At this point of my life, I'm 32 and I feel sexier than ever because you know what you want.

My emotions overload because there is no hand to hold, there’s no shoulder here to lean on; I’m walking all on my own.
