I did my own music videos, my own TV commercials.

It took me a year to really learn the American lingo. I really feel for people who are coming here and don't speak English at all. It must be hell.

It took so long to make it in America. The year I arrived was a bad year for women singers, the record company told me. So I starved. I lived in a hotel so dreadful I can't even talk about it.

You can bend but never break me. Cause it only serves to make me more determined to achieve my final goal.

I like music to soothe me.

It's so nice to be insane, no one asks you to explain.

Stop living a day at a time and stop worrying about age.
