What I've learned is not to change who you are, because eventually you're going to run out of new things to become.

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.

There’s nothing more amazing than the sound of a screaming crowd. Nothing.

I don't need to edit names out of songs and I don't need to edit details out of my songs because I've always been able to be honest with my music. That's the one place where I'm never ever going to change how I do things.

If someone has a really great boyfriend or career, I think, it's cool that happens.

I started making choices based on what I wanted, and didn’t feel like I needed to justify them. If I wanted to cut my hair, I did it. If I wanted to move to New York, I did it. If I wanted to take a spontaneous road trip, I did it. At 24 I decided that my life is enough for me, and I stopped looking for some other piece to complete it.

My attitude has always been if you get better and you see success, that should motivate you to even work harder, so that's kinda how I approach everything.
