I'm like the Christina Aguilera of the Internet.

I wear whatever makes me comfortable on stage, so that I feel confident. Some days it's a plaid skirt with a button-up and other days it's jeans with a hockey jersey and platforms.

I like writing different types of music. I don't like being stuck into one thing.

I hate being forced to do things. I hate people telling me what to do, so I'll do the complete opposite. It's a bit self-destructive sometimes.

Dreams do come true. They definitely do come true. It just takes a while, I guess. Sometimes it doesn't, but for me it did, anyway.

I feel like I didn't know who I was when I was 15. I don't feel like you're who you are for life, not even when you're 20.

I wanted to try something different. Most people my age go off to college; I thought I'd try out New York.

I didn't grow up in a regular upbringing. I ended up at my grandmother's house past a certain age, so I took care of things myself. I moved out of home when I was 16.

I hate when people call me a socialite because you have to have money to be a socialite, which I don't have.

How could you know what it feels like to fight the hounds of hell?

I'm pretty sarcastic, and sometimes that doesn't come across on the Internet. It seems I'm being rude or stupid.

If you ever find yourself in the wrong story, leave.

Peace is not the product of a victory or a command. It has no finishing line, no final deadline, no fixed definition of achievement. Peace is a never-ending process, the work of many decisions.

Acquaintance I would have, but when it depends; not on number, but the choice of friends.

The more delicate and ambitious the soul, the further do dreams estrange it from possible things.

Despite the fact that David Petraeus is now very highly regarded in foreign policy circles because of his record in both Republican and Democratic circles. It's all pretty extraordinary.

It goes without saying that when survival is threatened, struggles erupt between peoples, and unfortunate wars between nations result.

I'm glad I've had to struggle. It's made me the artist I am now.

The self holds both a hell and a heaven.

It's a great sacrifice to do what I'm doing. I'm not having fun at all...What a brutal job!

In the history of America, we've never had an energy plan. We don't even realize the resources that we have available to us.
