If you saw me without makeup, you wouldn't recognize me.

With fame, I'm able to create more. With every success, you have more freedom to create.

Dick Clark was a really great influence in my career; he helped me a lot with his whole organization, and they were awesome to me at all different points - but one thing that I really disagreed with him on was when he said that what I do, pop music, is a disposable art form.

Somebody did complain to me and tell me that my clothes were so loud they couldn't hear me sing.

And I'll see your true colors shining through I see your true colors and that's why I love you so don't be afraid to let them show your true colors, true colors are beautiful like a RAINBOW.

When I sing I don't feel like it's me. I feel I am fabulous, like I'm 10 feet tall. I am the greatest. I am the strongest. I am Samson. I'm whoever I want to be.

When I perform on stage, I often pretend to be someone other than myself to bring a certain emotion or intent to a song.
