Mix sheer hypocrisy with mediocrity, You play it safe every time...
You don't know where you belong... You need something to swear to, As you fol-low blindly along; You just need to belong somehow.
My career never went like anyone else’s, so I never followed anyone.
I have a hard time doing anything someone else tells me to do! I've always been driven to follow my own path and not be pushed down another lane because some executive thought I could be more commercially successful or whatever.
I do have a lot of difficulty figuring out what I want to be working on, but what's the alternative? To be one of those people who has a million things they want to do, and then never does any of them? And then where will you be?
I always sang. I wanted to be in a band with my sister, and I was, at 11. At 12, I started writing seriously, and that was my pacifier all through high school - that and painting.
My music is about a joyful experience. I've learned that if you can affect other people, you should.
When I sing I have a lot of visions. Like what's happening now in my life.
If you fall, I will catch you. I will be waiting, time after time.
I lose faith and I lose ground, but then I see you and remember unconditional love.
If you have intercourse you run the risk of dying and the ramifications of death are final.
Dick Clark was a really great influence in my career; he helped me a lot with his whole organization, and they were awesome to me at all different points - but one thing that I really disagreed with him on was when he said that what I do, pop music, is a disposable art form.
Sharon Osbourne is such a blast and she's so, so bright.
Men and women are different. I don't think men grow a brain until 26 or even 30. Girls mature a lot quicker.
