Jangan pedulikan apa yang dipikirkan orang tentang Anda, lakukan apa yang ingin Anda lakukan dan cari kebahagiaan Anda saja.

Banyak orang melakukan sesuatu karena rasa takut. Banyak orang membuat pilihan, berdasarkan pemikiran, mereka tidak akan memiliki karir dalam lima tahun. Saya tahu di mana saya berada, saya tahu apa yang saya lakukan bernilai sesuatu dan tidak memiliki tanggal kedaluwarsa. Saya tidak membuat pilihan - dalam kapasitas apa pun dalam hidup saya, dengan segala jenis dukungan, dengan segala jenis produk - karena takut.

I love hearing my song on the radio the first time, but when it comes on again, I change the station. I already have so much of the spotlight on me. I don't need any more.

I'm still driving along on the pop freeway of life. Thinking even further into the future, I definitely want to make an acoustic record. I want to try lots of different things.

At my second record label, they told me and other female artists that some of us were going on the chopping block. I was 19... and it was devastating.

I'm not going to be everything to everyone.

You have to spend a lot to make a lot. It's not like I'm sitting on top of a pile of money.

I've lived such a great, fantastic life already, but there's still so much more.

I just like having fun.

My style icons were Gwen Stefani, when she was in No Doubt, and then Shirley Manson in Garbage.

Unfortunately, I think a lot of people are affected more by the idea of fame than the actual work ethic involved. A lot of them just want to be reality TV-type people who don't do anything.

Setelah badai, datanglah pelangi.

I just have so much love for my record label.

Touring is always important to me. It's like a big IOU to my fans, because I know they are the reason I exist.

Jadi, ambil risiko dan jangan pernah melihat ke belakang.

The records are black boxes for me. Like, if you want to know who I am, my views, my perspective, things I love, things I hate, my convictions, my anthems. I've never let people's opinions affect the way I write.

People love the idea of a good girl gone bad, thinking that my parents were so strict and disowned me, but that actually wasn't the case. Even though they don't necessarily agree with some of the things I do, they love me as their daughter. That's always been their perspective.

I don't need the Prince Charming to have my own happy ending.

Mungkin ada alasan mengapa semua pintu ditutup, sehingga Anda bisa membuka pintu yang mengarahkan Anda ke kesempurnaan.

Bagi seorang wanita modern, penting untuk didukung dan bahwa ada kesetaraan dalam setiap aspek, dan bahwa bukan dua bagian yang membuat keseluruhan - itu dua keutuhan yang membuat keseluruhan.
