We're smart enough to make these millions, strong enough to bare the children, then get back to business.
To me, power is making things happen without asking for permission. It's affecting the way people perceive themselves and the world around them. It's making people stand up with pride.
Power's not given to you. You have to take it.
We have to teach our boys the rules of equality and respect, so that as they grow up gender equality becomes a natural way of life. And we have to teach our girls that they can reach as high as humanly possible.
I'm a human being and I fall in love and sometimes I don't have control of every situation.
We all have our imperfections. But I'm human, and you know, it's important to concentrate on other qualities besides outer beauty.
The most alluring thing a woman can have is confidence.
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 know I'm stronger in the songs than I really am. Sometimes I need to hear it myself. We all need to hear those empowering songs to remind us.
I embrace mistakes. They make you who you are.
When you love and accept yourself, when you know who really cares about you, and when you learn from your mistakes, then you stop caring about what people who don't know you think.
Your self-worth is determined by you. You don't have to depend on someone telling you who you are.
My focus is my art, and that's what I love to do. I have to be really passionate in order to do something. I've turned down many things that I just didn't believe in.
Be healthy and take care of yourself, but be happy with the beautiful things that make you, you.
Don't try to lessen yourself for the world; let the world catch up to you.
If you don't take the time to think about and analyze your life, you'll never realize all the dots that are all connected.
It is so liberating to really know what I want, what truly makes me happy, what I will not tolerate. I have learned that it is no one else's job to take care of me but me.
A true diva is graceful, and talented, and strong, and fearless and brave and someone with humility.
I don't like to gamble, but if there's one thing I'm willing to bet on, it's myself.
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.
