Promise me this, that you'll stand by me forever. But if God forbid Fate should step in and force us into a goodbye. If you have children someday, when they point to the pictures please tell them my name. Tell them how the crowd went wild, tell them how I hope they shine.

I’ve never been shy or secretive with the fact that if you walk into my life, you may be walking onto a record.

Being a powerful woman who also exhibits great warmth is an incredible feat because people think that to be powerful you have to be cold, and you don't.

Every one of my regrets has produced a song I'm proud of.

I have an excellent father, his strength is making me stronger.

I like touring extensively because I think the more hours you spend onstage, the more you know who you are onstage.

The past is the past. Don't let it kill you.
