People can say whatever they want about whatever they want.

There are a lot of things that come easy, but they're not necessarily worth it. Anything worth having, you work hard for. That's how I feel I am.

There are no one dimensional people.

Musically, I think I change music like I change clothes! What I listen to on a day to day basis is really contingent upon my mood and what's going on in my life.

When you're used to making your money a certain way, especially when you fall in love with the way you're doing it, going back to pursue your true passion can be kind of nerve wracking.

I think that as women sometimes, we put ourselves secondary because we kind of lose ourselves and the part of us that makes us awesome.

(A gentleman) is any man who wouldn't hit a woman with his hat on.

I became more and more convinced that even nature could be understood as a relatively simple mathematical structure.

I think that you are serving others when you share pieces of yourself with other people.

I do not want to see perpetual warfare in the Middle East.

I actually think there's a potential, a crazy potential, that network TV could become something valuable and worthwhile, just because of fear on the part of the networks.

Authenticity is not an innate quality - that is, you are not born with it. Being an authentic leader is not something you can say about yourself; it must be attributed to you.

Marble statues, engraved with public inscriptions, by which the life and soul return after death to noble leaders.

There are times when the law jeopardizes those who obey it.

I am not dead yet! I can still call forth a piece of soul and set it down in color, fixed forever.

Would you rather be deaf or blind?
