The world is my stage. I try to be good at it, whatever part I'm playing - even in my daily life or when the spotlight hits me on the stage to perform - I gotta be alive every second in this world. With or without the applause!

People will use you as long as you let them.

A gypsy told me I was going to do great things. I was going to make all kinds of money.

I love writing every song I can like a little mini movie. I like to have a character, or some characters, and really paint a picture with the song.

A lot of my heartbreak songs are inspired by things my sisters are going through, or friends.

I try to see the good in everybody, and I don't care who people are as long as they're themselves, whatever that is.

People just overshoot trying to find God. They're going outside and trying everything. They don't realize that it's right inside themselves.
