我
I'm not a pessimist. I'm an optimist trained in realism.
If you're horrible to me, I'm going to write a song about it, and it won't be a good one for you.
I don’t believe in luck. I believe in preparation meeting opportunity.
I’m very fearless—not in a reckless way, but in a way that is authentic to who I am.
I don’t do things for the reaction or the criticism. I live for what makes me happy.
I'm a perfectionist, and I'm pretty tough on myself.
I'm a workaholic and I don't believe in 'no.' I believe in 'yes' and making it happen.
I don't feel like I have to please anyone. I feel free. I feel like I'm an adult. I'm grown. I can do what I want.
I'm a woman and I have imperfections... and I'm proud of it.
I'm a human being and I fall in love and sometimes I don't have control of every situation.
I don't have to prove anything to anyone. I only have to follow my heart and concentrate on what I want to say to the world. I run my world.
I wanted to sell a million records, and I sold a million records. I wanted to go platinum; I went platinum. I've been working nonstop since I was 15. I don't even know how to chill out.
I have so much admiration for women who are married, have kids, and work full time. I don't know how you do it. I don't think I could.
The more successful I become, the more I need a man.
I truly believe that women should be financially independent from their men. And let's face it, money gives men the power to run the show. It gives men the power to define value. They define what's sexy. And men define what's feminine. It's ridiculous.
I can never be safe; I always try and go against the grain. As soon as I accomplish one thing, I just set a higher goal. That's how I've gotten to where I am.
Your self-worth is determined by you. You don't have to depend on someone telling you who you are.
I don't like to gamble, but if there's one thing I'm willing to bet on, it's myself.
I believe in the magic of Christmas.
I'm not a diva, I'm just a hardworking girl with dreams.
