My nails are my rhythm section when I'm writing a song all alone. Some day, I may cut an album, just me and my nails.

One is only poor, only if they choose to be.

All the fame and fortune, glory and prestige, can't make me happy if it goes against what I believe.

I always loved books. I don't remember learning to read, it was just something I always did. I was hungry for knowledge, I guess, and information; I was a curious kid. I still am.

I love traveling all over the world; but it's true: there's nothing like home.

I never have thought I was beautiful and I never can get beautiful enough. I'm always doing whatever I can to look as good as I can, nipping and tucking if necessary. When you're older, you probably look more bizarre to people. But I don't care. I'm just totally convinced that it's more important that I be happy with me.

I look like a woman, but I think like a man.
