I don't understand why the press is so interested in speculating about my appearance, anyway. What does my face have to do with my music or my dancing?

The press has made up so much...God...awful, horrifying stories...it has made me realize the more often you hear a lie, I mean, you begin to believe it.

I have a loving family, a strong faith and wonderful friends and fans who have, and continue, to support me.

I believe in God.....I gain strength from God. I believe in Jehovah, God, very much.....I believe in God and love God.

And that's what innocence is. It's simple and trusting like a child, not judgmental and committed to one narrow point of view. If you are locked into a pattern of thinking and responding, your creativity gets blocked. You miss the freshness and magic of the moment. Learn to be innocent again, and that freshness never fades.

I see God in the face of children. If there were no children on this Earth, if somebody announced that all kids are dead, I would jump off the balcony immediately. I'm done.

I truly love my fans. Truly, truly from the heart. That's the real truth. I love them.
