Being a parent is very important to me.

It takes a long time to get to be a diva. I mean, you gotta work at it.

Most people are so hard to please that if they met God, they'd probably say yes, she's great, but.

I don't think getting in and out of a limousine has anything to do with being an icon.

I know that my fans want to know who I'm sleeping with, but it's really none of their business.

I think a responsibility comes with notoriety, but I never think of it as power. It's more like something you hold, like grains of sand. If you keep your hand closed, you can have it and possess it, but if you open your fingers in any way, you can lose it just as quickly.

So I'm not worried about the emotions I carry with me, because I'm happy that I have them; I think it's good for the work I do. The emotions that are not healthy are the ones you hold inside, like anger.
