We learned more from a 3 minute record than we ever learned in school

My hope for the future, not just in the music industry, but in every young girl I meet…is that they all realize their worth and ask for it.

In school if you're different that's uncool. But I try to maintain confidence in who I am...because...you know...I don't really want to change it.

I like things that make me feel seven again. I don't ever look down on people for the way they choose to have fun; it's just not necessarily the way I like to have fun.

Sophistication isn't what you wear or who you know, or pushing people down to get you where you want to go... soon your gonna find stealing other people toys on the playground won't make you many friends.

I've been singing Shakira songs in front of my bathroom mirror into my hairbrush forever. It's like a daily routine.

Most of my fans, if you were to look on their iPods, you'd see every possible genre of music represented in some capacity.
