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.

I like French fries; I like mashed. I love potatoes.

The music business is not a good place for people who don't know things.

I know who I am. I am not perfect. I'm not the most beautiful woman in the world. But I'm one of them.

I'm searching for a real love.

My career doesn't get harder because when you have something to share, you have something to share. And when it's a trial or a situation that you triumph out of, you have to - because this is the relationship I started with my fans on the My Life album in 1994. You have to share in order for people to see how you came through it, or how you're dealing with having thoughts of doubting yourself. What songs are gonna help you? What lyrics are gonna pull you out of your slump?

Just don't let the hype of what people are saying and how much they love you, y'know, just take the compliment and be thankful that people are complimenting you, but don't let it consume you; don't let your circumstances around you and the way people view you make you act a certain way.
