I've learned I'm not lying by not saying anything, so I just don't say it anymore.

I was a very defensive kid 'cause I was really sensitive underneath and didn't want people to know. So I came off as very tough and very angry.

A lot of people have problems with public confrontation, but it doesn't worry me at all. I can handle myself. I know my martial arts.

You can't move mountains by whispering at them.

This life gets lonely when everybody wants something.

I've always loved to prove people wrong. I want to be able to cross color lines, because in music, there really is no barrier.

I turned down Prince William's invitation for me to sing at his birthday bash because he was spearing animals in Africa and bringing publicity to it, and I thought that was pretty disgusting!
