Circumstances-what are circumstances? I make circumstances.

There's nobody in the business strong enough to scare me.

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 got the total package, you know, the curves, the rhythm, and the voice. I'm just the best.

Don't be afraid to assert yourself, have confidence in your abilities and don't let the bastards get you down.

The greatest pleasure I've had is trying to do something that everybody says could not be done.
