I'm not as goal obsessed as I am process obsessed.

I think it's OK to be confident in yourself.

I wanted to be a skinny little ballerina but I was a voluptuous little Italian girl whose dad had meatballs on the table every night.

It's funny when people say they see a lot of Madonna in me. I just feel so flattered because I love her and I am just her biggest fan. She is very strong. I love the way she does interviews -you know you won't get anything past her.

I feel that if I can show my demise artistically to the public, I can somehow cure my own legend.

I don't want to sound presumptuous, but I've made it my goal to revolutionize pop music. The last revolution was launched by Madonna 25 years ago

I've worked since I was a five-year-old to be a performer.
