I study everything that I do to become better all the time at my craft. The beauty for me about being an artist is that the dream will never die because I'm not obsessed with material things and don't care about the money and don't care about the attention of the public but only the love of my fans. For me it's about keeping the dream alive of how much more devoted, how much more honest, how much better of an artist can I become? That's the only fear that I ever have, that the dream will die.

In my work and what I do, I am Queen of the Universe every day!

I don't view interviewing as much of a performance. My whole life is in essence a performance but singing and dancing for television is an entirely different thing.

Russian Roulette is not the same without a gun

I dont really ever compare myself to other people, I dont even measure myself in terms of anyone but myself.

Why spend your whole life trying to be somebody that you're not? It's so much more fun to be yourself **** what everybody says.

I got a job when I was 15 because my allowance was about $20 a week which in New York was impossible. So I used to waitress across the street from where I grew up.
