Sometimes love comes around and it knocks you down just get back up when it knocks you down

People may not tell you how they feel about you, but they always show you. Pay attention.

I'll be honest; I'm a student of fashion. I say that because I just wear what I feel. I'm not led by name brands and things like that.

I prefer men to boys. To clear it up, it's not about an older or younger thing. It's a mindset, not age. There are 18-year-old men out there and there are 40-year-old boys.

Pretty as a picture, sweeter that a swisher. Mad ‘cause I’m cuter that the girl that’s with ya’.

We were never meant to be baby, we just happened

There have been situations where the people you're around have one vision for you, and it's like trying on a jacket that doesn't fit.

To be honest with my music... for me to expect anyone to connect it has to come from a place of honesty.

I felt that with In A Perfect World I was still kind of finding myself - not just as a musician, but also in love and in life.

Dear heart, I promissed you i'd take it slow. Dear love, I know I swore on everything I own. But I can resist...it's just one kiss.

I always feel compelled to lend my voice to things I strongly believe in.

Life is a sacred wonder.

The sun's brightness painted our shadows on the ground.

I grew up in Marcy Projects in Brooklyn, and my mom and pop had an extensive record collection, so Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder and all of those sounds and souls of Motown filled the house.

I can become someone else, not out of pressure and desperation, but merely because a new life sounds fun or interesting or joyful.

It's so hard to get our goods into China. And when we do get in they charge us a huge surtax. They call it a surtax or a tariff. I call it a tax.

Pyramiding instructions appear on dollar bills. Add smaller and smaller amounts on the way up. Keep your eye open at the top.

One thing life has taught me: if you are interested, you never have to look for new interests. They come to you. When you are genuinely interested in one thing, it will always lead to something else.

One mistake, one brief lapse of my new found judgement-that's all it took to unravel everything. What a massive responsibility, being a moral creature.

I had sold my soul for pleasure.

Every specific tax, as well as the nation's whole tax system, becomes self-defeating above a certain height of the rates.
