I go on the Internet and look at old pictures of myself, because it is the best reminder of how far I have come and where I do not want to be.

Beauty is not defined by the clothes you wear or the makeup on your face BUT by the way you carry your struggles with smiles, hard work & love

Every day of my life is going out in public and seeing people's lives and listening to stories - all that kind of stuff musically inspires me.

If I said what I was really thinking about this f**ked up world, the government would assassinate me like all the other people they've killed.

And I thought, you know, a little gender confusion makes a better person. A little adversity in life at an early age. It's character building.

I think if the United States gave anything to culture at large in the 20th century, the most important contribution made was the popular song.

I dont think you can look for love. All you can do is get yourself in a situation where you dont discourage something that may be rather nice.

I used to live with J.D. Souther, and I would watch him write. He's be sitting, he'd say something, and then he'd write it down. That's craft.

A lot of people don't have near the amount of success as I've been blessed to have, and it's all about working hard and hoping that continues.

It doesn't matter how you're dressed onstage or what you say in your songs: that doesn't give anybody the right to invade your personal space.

You look at me and see the girl,who lives inside the golden world,but don't believe, that's all there is to see,you'll never know the real me.

I'm so thankful that I've received The answer that heaven has sent down to me You treated me kind Sweet destiny And I'll be eternally grateful

As long as you keep a person down, some part of you has to be down there to hold him down, so it means you cannot soar as you otherwise might.

I love to snuggle up on the sofa wrapped in my duvet watching old black and white films, and catching up with friends and family on the phone.

My marriage is the most important thing in my life, but in a weird way I'm able to focus on other things more clearly by having it in my life.

After moving back to LA, I definitely would love to go to school and do more music in between acting as well as finally learning how to drive!

I really loved taking photos when I was younger. I think my love for photography sparked my love for creating the visuals to support my music.

The turn I made was not the one I planned. And I watched my social standing slip away from me, while I watched the bottle slowly take command.

Personally, I think what's happening in my beautiful country is embarrassing, but I also know that Trump doesn't speak for the majority of us.

I think we've seen every type of drag come across the stage of 'RuPaul's Drag Race,' and there is no end in sight of what can be on the stage.

I tend to be the one that breaks the mold most often, and thus, I tend to be the one with a lot of outtakes, songs that don't make the record.

I'm not playing for other musicians. We're trying to reach the guy who works all day and wants to spend a buck at night. We'll keep him happy.

My teachers said, 'Always keep a Beethoven sonata under your fingers.' I always have. I still play chamber music, and I always play classical.

I love to experiment with fashion. A lot of my inspiration comes from my mom. She is fearless with fashion! I love colors and anything daring.

Extensions is you suddenly have long hair when you have short hair, and you can sleep with it and you have it forever, as long as you want to.

There's a rumor going around that I'm Miss Goody-two-shoes from Australia. Well, that's a laugh. I'm really Miss Goody-two-shoes from England!

Whenever I go overseas I buy funny eyelashes. For example the same brand that are in Japan and England are different styles. So I bought both.

In this culture, where entertainers and athletes wield such power, it seems only right to me that they try to make their influence a good one.

For what is a man, what has he got? If not himself, then he has naught. To say the things he truly feels, and not the words of one who kneels.

You don't know for sure why things happen, but you know, it did! It was my time to go on the show and I'm excited to see what my future holds.

When things happen socially in our community, as artists, we've got the right to exercise our voices if we choose to, use our powers for good.

I wanted to travel. I wanted hit records. I wanted success. I wanted respect, but not credibility - that's one thing Boyzone never looked for.

I feel this is a family here, so kinda regardless of whatever happens in your life, you always can come home to the Grand Ole Opry, thank God.

Art can play a major role. I look at art as an alternative source of energy, the same way we might look at wind or solar or lithium batteries.

You can't say: This much love is worth this much misery. They're not opposites that cancel each other out; they're both true at the same time.

My rule for the corporate stuff is the same as with my music - I do whatever means I can sleep at night and whatever means I can be dignified.

I stopped drinking almost immediately after I had ready access to liquor, when I got to college. It almost immediately lost its appeal for me.

Rock and menopause do not mix. It is not good, it sucks and every day I fight it to the death, or, at the very least, not let it take me over.

It used to be that youd have a song recorded by a major country artist and if it was a hit, you could buy a car. Now you can buy a dealership.

Ever since I was a young kid, I was always hungry for something. It was this thing inside me that no matter what I did, I couldn't satisfy it.

Cause there was a time when all I did was wish You'd tell me this was love. It's not the way I hoped Or how I planned But somehow it's enough.

Growing up in San Diego, I can remember going with my brother to see bands like Pennywise and NOFX - good punk bands that were fast and tight.

Malaria kills and its main victims are children and women. We can stop this scourge so people can live with dignity and go to work and school.

I'm usually quite honest about expressing what I feel but there are times when I let things pile up inside me and the hurt feelings take over.

It's a thanksgiving to God. It's something I have wanted to do for a long time, but the record company wasn't ready for it. So I did it myself.

A lot of my solo albums were produced by different people who had their idea of what songs I should do, and they had me doing a lot of ballads.

I did a concert at five years old in the garden of one of the church members, and we raised some money to buy a new piano in our little church.

I started to like my voice - the sound of it. So then I started to listen to it as something separate. To me, it sounded good that way as well.

Even though I know who I am, musically I'm a blank canvas. I know what colors I want to use, but I don't know what picture I want to paint yet.

The biggest thing I've learned is that you only have one chance. You only have today to live-but you gotta take it and make it the best you can
