I was not a good-lookin' girl. I was extremely skinny. I wasn't pretty. I wasn't cool.
I think that life has a secret, and children they hold that secret. Maybe it's not given to everybody to discover this thing.
No one can be Rihanna, except for Rihanna
We are comfortable in this environment. Why not make ourselves comfortable over there?.
My child was not only carried by me, but by the universe.
You've been my inspiration, through the lies you were the truth. My world is a better place because of you.
You don't think of the devil who's inside.
I love performing, but I never really liked show business. My success is my family. I want to be more successful as a mother.
There's always a new thing happening to me that's even more extraordinary, so pressure gets harder. But I like it when it's hard. Anyone can do it when it's easy. When it's hard and you can do it good, you're proud of yourself. There's going to be more pressure as the years go by, that's for sure. But I think I'm a hard worker and I'm ready for that. As long as I believe in what I'm doing, the pressure is okay with me.
As a singer, I've had many opportunities to travel, and one thing I've learned is that through my music, I can be accepted by people all over the world. I often wonder why so many of us can't accept people who are different here, in our country? It's just not fair to be prejudiced against those whose race, religion or colour aren't the same as ours.
To have your niece die in your arms is the greatest gift from god.
I can't wait to do the normal things. Like just doing your own groceries. Looking for your own tomatoes. I just can't wait to get up in the morning and look awful. I'm looking forward to getting bored.
When I do something, I do it all the way. I've been in show business so many years. I've achieved a lot of things.
What do you say to taking chances?
