Life and love go on, let the music play.

Fight and push harder for what you believe in, you'd be surprised, you are much stronger than you think.

Ignore all hatred and criticism. Live for what you create, and die protecting it.

It's ok to be sad. I've been trained to love my darkness.

I had a boyfriend who told me I'd never succeed, never be nominated for a Grammy, never have a hit song, and that he hoped I'd fail. I said to him, 'Someday, when we're not together, you won't be able to order a cup of coffee at the f***** deli without hearing or seeing me.'

There's no such thing in aging, but maturing and knowledge. It's beautiful, I call that beauty.
