I try not to be a jerk. I really do. I try to be nice and cordial.

Don't you know that you're blowing my mind? What you do to me I can't describe. Baby, I can't hold back anymore. I just can't conceal it. You're the one I really adore.

I'm experimenting with my voice. Every day I do different things with it, and if I feel it's appropriate I do it on the record.

True diva could not live without smart remark every now and then, a good sip of water.

Stay triumphant, keep on living. Stay on your toes, get off the ropes. Don't let 'em ever count you out.

I'm really fortunate. I'm really happy, and I'm really really lucky to be where I am.

Nothing that's ever happened has taken away the optimist in me. It's always, "Whatever-let's go to Disneyland." Yes, I have my bleak, tortured-artist moments, but you have to hold on to what's positive.
