A good friend just told me that the key to a successful marriage was to argue naked! I'm gonna do that from now on, when that rarely happens.

I signed my deal when I was 11, and the success I had, no one could explain that to an adult, what's about to happen to them, much less a kid. There's not many people around who've experienced that.

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.

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.

I needed to become something besides the star everybody had built me up to be.

Without you, there'd be no sun in my sky, there would be no love in my life, there'd be no world left of me.

I never, ever in my heart want to hurt anyone.
