I liked performing, but not the struggle.

The music industry had virtually blacklisted me.

I am very intense. I can't help it. That's the way I am. You can't be in this business without being intense. The pressure and tension get to you; it can't help but show on you.

I'm a woman with a mission. I've learned to believe in myself, my vision and to do things the way I want them done.

My mother always wanted to be in show business, but her parents discouraged her. So when I started performing for the mirror she enrolled me in dancing, singing and piano lessons.

All of a sudden, I was hearing stories about how difficult I was to work with, ridiculous rumors about drugs and what a diva I was. I never had to go to rehab or a program.

Cara is not my real name, and I'm not going to tell you what it is. Only because I do live in New York and enough people already know who my parents are.

I play piano and write better than I can sing.

I've had my bubblegum years and I did them well. Now it's time to come back as the woman, artist, and musician that I am without apologizing.

I'll never be that trusting again, believing accountants and lawyers have my best interests at heart.

Life has a balance and natural order. I'm not fighting the flow anymore. My career right now is very up. It's happening naturally and it's happening well.

The outfit, tight in places, and loose in some, says as much in the buttons as it does in cuffs.

The people of my country want the two freedoms that spell security: freedom from want and freedom from fear.

Sexuality is one of the biggest parts of who we are.

For whatever reason, various outlets and individuals are committed to making the world think that young girls don't talk or care about feminism anymore, that it's totally over. But it's not.

I'd rather be Jack be smart, than Jack be quick. Watch out for the man with the big fat licking stick.

I'm shy, paranoid, whatever word you want to use. I hate fame. I've done everything I can to avoid it.

Ain't no reason for me to kill nobody in the ring, unless they deserve it.

David Nugent tore up the Championship but he’s gone to Portsmouth and he’s a fish up a tree

I think it's [concern about global warming] mainly just like little kids locking themselves in dark closets to see how much they can scare each other and themselves.

Since man's highest mission on earth is to spiritualize everything, it is his excrement in particular that needs it most.
