Being hunted, paparazzi-style , doesn't appeal to me.

Knowing now what goes into making a successful artist, it's disheartening.

I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist.

I'm an advocate of 'it's not what you are, it's who you are.'

I've got thick skin and an elastic heart.

I liked when I was naive and I thought it was just about making good music.

I get to sit at home with the dogs on the sofa, record in a closet in the office, send them off and, if I'm lucky, make a million dollars.

I may cry ruining my make up, Wash away all things you've taken.. I don't care if I don't look pretty, Big girls cry when their hearts are breaking.

I don't want to be famous, or recognizable.

People aren't honest about the horrors of fame. The downsides are so overwhelming that, for me, there is no payoff.

I'm sensitive and get easily upset and insulted.

No man can walk so long in the Shadow that he cannot come again to the Light.

To ease another’s heartache is to forget one’s own.

Multitasking divides your attention and leads to confusion and weakened focus.

To endure the cross is not tragedy; it is the suffering which is the fruit of an exclusive allegiance to Jesus Christ.

I knew a Buddhist once, and I've hated myself ever since.

Every religion has demons.... Nothing like a real, live demon to give you some of that old-time religion.

I think the players win the championship, and the organization has something to do with it, don't get me wrong. But don't try to put the organization above the players.

Even Jesus Christ cannot conduct a free and fair election in Nigeria.

Keep up a humble sense of your own faults, and that will make you compassionate to others

You have to keep surprising your audience.
