I lost my reputation, I forgot my truth. But I have my beauty and I have my youth.

I just look for someone who makes me feel like life is an exciting opportunity and, you know, just like to be alive.

High heels off; I'm feeling alive.

It takes getting everything you ever wanted and then losing it, to know what true freedom is.

What other people think of me is none of my business. Sometimes, it hurts my feelings, but I have to just keep going.

I entered a songwriting competition, I didn't win, and one of the judges on the panel was an A&R man at a record label that had no other acts and I signed to them. We sent my demo out to five people and David Kahne got back to me that day, and said I think you're amazing I want to start with you tomorrow. He was like my Harvard reach school, I couldn't believe it. I was really excited. It was the first time anyone of any importance said I was good and I ran with that validation for a long time.

Like a groupie incognito posing as a real singer, life imitates art.
