I want to keep growing and living life to the fullest for as long as I'm on this planet.
There's no borderline for the things that I can say, do, and create....
I always acted like a star long before I was one
I wouldn't say I wanna conquer the world anymore. But I want to be a part of making the world a better place. I want to inspire people and I wanna be part of the solution.
I want to be like Gandhi, and Martin Luther King, and John Lennon... but I want to stay alive.
I'm not a reluctant pop star. I'm very grateful and happy for everything that I have and for things when they go well. On the other hand, I've had enough of the other side to know that if it doesn't, I will survive that and life goes on.
I don't care if you hate me or love me, as long as I make you think.
There's one thing you can't download and that's a live performance. And I know how to put on a show, and enjoy performing, and I'll always have that.
The idea of service to humanity, putting yourself in situations where people have much less than you do, puts life in perspective.
I think the ultimate challenge is to have some kind of style and grace, even though you haven't got money, or standing in society, or formal education. I had a very middle, lower-middle class sort of upbringing, but I identify with people who've had, at some point in their lives to struggle to survive. It adds another color to your character.
We live in a world where people like to pit women against each other. And this is why I love the idea of embracing other females who are doing what I'm doing. It's important for us to support each other.
If you want something bad enough the whole world conspires to help you get it.
Every time I reach a new peak, I see a new one I want to climb.
I'm so used to people slagging me off. Since the beginning of my career I've been told I have no talent, I can't sing and I'm a one-hit wonder.
