When the day is done the most important thing is loving people and sharing love.

Honestly, I don't read newspapers, magazines, whatever. They're just not part of my lexicon. I don't want to be manipulated, or manipulated about other people's work.

Music.... makes the people..... come together......

Economic markets are collapsing. People all over the world are suffering and people afraid. What happens when peep are afraid? They become intolerant.

I want people to be moved, to feel called to action. That's what I want to do.

If you're sure of who you are it doesn't really matter what people call you, does it?

The fact of the matter is that you can use your beauty and use your charm and be flirtatious, and you can get people interested in your beauty. But you cannot maintain that. In the end, talent is the only thing. My work is the only thing that's going to change any minds.

I have my work and my faith... If that's boring to some people, I can't tell you how much I don't care.

I'm not claiming to appeal to the same people that Christina Aguilera or Britney Spears are going to appeal to. I'm not trying to. I'm doing what I want to do.
