People are so quick to judge and make decisions for themselves about situations they know absolutely nothing about.

I need honor in my life from somebody playing for keeps.

We live in an epidemic of self-hatred. I see it daily with people coming at me, and they do it to everybody, it's not just me. The hatred is really stemming from them not liking themselves. When you look at it that way, I feel so much empathy and understanding for those people.

Keep on shining, keep on smiling, don't lose faith, and don't lose heart. When you're crying, just keep trying to remind yourself, you're a shining star, yes you are.

I refuse to discuss tabloid rumors.

Living life, I mean, my two stepsons, my husband, I think every day - today interaction inspires me - as far as music goes - inspires my art.

Hopefully people will grow with me, because I'm definitely not going to be stuck in one place all my life.
