Becoming famous and selling a lot of records doesn't change a thing.

You don't have to be a rock star - if you don't like the situation you're in, you don't have to settle for it.

I'd like to be Queen Elizabeth.

You can connect with anybody nowadays. You can literally go on there and leave a message for Oprah Winfrey. If you want to say something to Hillary Clinton, you can tweet her! That's something I don't think anybody saw coming. It's also a way for people who aren't Oprah or Hillary to make a name for themselves and let people know they're out there. It's not exclusive to people who get lucky in life. It's amazing.

I have a bronze statue of myself, naked. I have these really big curls and water comes out of every curl. It's hot.

Whatever your image is, it's probably not you, but it affords you the freedom to live up to it.

My voice is definitely a big present for me from God, because it's not like I can even take credit for it.
