If you're looking for inner peace from the outside world, you're not going to get that. The inner peace starts with looking at you from the inside.

You can hate me. You can go out there and say anything you want about me, But you will love me later because I told you the truth.

The music business is really, really small. The real music is becoming almost extinct, if you don't stay true to who you are.

Don't give up, be positive and if you know someone who knows someone at a record company don't stop beating down their door till you get heard. Don't ever say it'll never happen or it'll never happen.

I care about me now. When I didn't care about me, I was, like, 'Why is this going wrong? Why is my life so bad?' But when you don't care about yourself, nobody else is going to care about you. So I learned to love myself, even if nobody else does.

I barely have time for my own children. To adopt more children and not have time for them, that would be poor parenting on my part.
