You never know what's actually going on in a person's life. You don't know what happened to them before you met them...and that's why they are the way they are. But I do think about it whenever I get in contact with my fans. I know this may be the only time they'll ever meet me. I try to take advantage of that moment and be kind and grateful.

Comparisons are easily done, once you've had a taste of perfection

I can feel a phoenix inside of me. I can see the heavens but I still hear the flames calling out my name.

My fans are the best. I mean if there was a war, I think they'd definitely win just because they'd kill them with kindness.

Not to sound overly cheesy but I really appreciate the freedom we have in America - especially as a female.

My singing is really important to me, but when children come along they'll be my main focus. I'd never put my career in front of my babies - it'd be a case of fitting jobs around them.

I just like having fun.
