Performing live is the greatest high in the world. That's why I do what I do

You lose the arrogance you need to be successful, but you need that arrogance because the second someone sees that side of you and chip at it, it's over.

When you take high risks, the rewards are higher. So sometimes I'll gamble just to see what happens. If it doesn't work, I know I can't do that.

I like being in love. I want to be in love, but at this stage of my life, my career is, by far, the most important thing to me. It's my passion.

When I first go out on stage, there are tummy bubbles everywhere.

Sad songs seem to work for me, but I don't want to be redundant; I want to add a little flavor.

I think that once an artist has proven herself and you sell lots of records, you should be compensated.
