I think they were scared of me because I was different.

If you have to ask for something more than once or twice, it wasn't yours in the first place. And that's hard to accept when you love someone.

I'm not a reluctant pop star. I'm very grateful and happy for everything that I have and for things when they go well. On the other hand, I've had enough of the other side to know that if it doesn't, I will survive that and life goes on.

If at first you don't succeed, you're obviously not me.

Everybody in our family studied a musical instrument. My father was really big on that. Somehow I only took a year or two of piano lessons and I convinced my father to let me take dancing lessons.

There's no borderline for the things that I can say, do, and create.

In the midnight hour I can feel your power...
