I do not accept any less than someone just as real, as fabulous!

When I say to you, there is nobody like me, and there never was, that is a statement I want every woman to feel and make about themselves.

I don't care what people think about me, I care what they think about themselves.

It is fair to write about the change in your magazines. But what I want to see is the change on your covers ... When the covers change, that's when culture changes.

My concerts are about me being very private in public, but I'm very protective.

I think it's absolutely a blessing when you just know what your purpose is and your destiny. I don't think it's a curse at all.

Sometimes I get this gut feeling about people - maybe I sense a hidden agenda or that they care for the money more than the message. I wish that I'd listen to that feeling instead of waiting for the truth to rear its ugly head. I'm a smart girl. I'm loyal. But sometimes I'm too loyal. I'm not loyal enough to myself.
