More From Katy Perry

I Get A Lot Of The Ideas When I'm Resting - Either When I'm Meditating Or Getting Some Kind Of Work Done On My Back, Like Physical Therapy Or Acupuncture. That's Where I Get My Best Ideas, Maybe Because I'm Balancing My Body.

I Was Being Musically Mentored By A Lot Of People Who Were Obviously More Talented And Skilled Than I Was, And I Thought That I Would Just Kind Of Learn The Ropes Of Songwriting There - Like How To Do Acoustic, Country-esque Songs, Which I Like Because There's So Much Story In Them.

I Had This Lump In My Throat, But I Couldn't Even Cry. I Thought, I Shouldn't Have Gotten My Hopes Up. I Was Just Sitting There In My Car That I Was Two Months Behind On Payments For, Knowing I Didn't Have Money For Rent.

Kids Are So Smart These Days. They Sense When There's A Phony Bologna Out There. Especially In Music, When They See Something That's Being Marketed To Them, They'll Call It Out. They'll Be Like, "this Chick Is Bullshit."

I Have A Second Chance On Life.

I'm Really Critical Of My Posture, It Makes A Big Difference. And I Try To Suck My Belly In. Everyone Should Do That Whether You're On A Red Carpet Or Not. Even If You're Just Going Out To Dinner With Your Boyfriend You Should Try And Suck It In.

Acceptance Is The Key To Be Truly Free.

I Was Like, I Don't Know If I Can Hold That Promise [to Wait Until Marriage To Have Sex] Because This Guy At Camp Is Really Cute. Sex Wasn't Talked About In My Home, But I Was A Very Curious Young Girl.

I Was Never Really Attached To A Clique, And I Wanted To Be In All The Different Groups; I Was Never A One-group Kind Of Person. I Think That's Still Part Of My Personality Today.

Sometimes, You Promise Someone Forever, But It Doesn't Work That Way.

I Was Really Sick And I Walked Outside Of The Bus And Realised; Oh No I'm Not Allowed To Be Sick. I'm Not Allowed To Say; Sorry No I Can't Pose With You For A Photo Because I'm Sick. I Am A Super Human Now, Or I Have To Be One.

I Hate Working Out, But I Love Jumping Rope. Theres A Rhythm. It's Like Dancing.

I Am A Pop Girl! And I'm On A Major Label. I Enjoy Singing Pop Songs.

I Just Feel Like I'm Going To Be Criticized Regardless Of What I Do Next, So I Might As Well Do Something That I Feel Really Passionate About.

I Did A Lot Of Thrift And Vintage. I Would Mix Those Pieces Into Some Of The More Inexpensive Items From Express, Gap, Old Navy, And Clothestime.

Cause I Am A Champion, And You're Gonna Hear Me Roar

I Saw A Spider, I Didn't Scream 'cause I Can Belch The Alphabet Just Double Dog Dare Me And I Chose Guitar Over Ballet And I Tape These Suckers Down 'cause They Just Get In My Way The Way You Look At Me Is Kind Of Like A Little Sister You High Five Your Goodbyes And It Leaves Me Nothing But Blisters So I Don't Want To Be One Of The Boys.

If You Like My Music, Great, And If You Don't, Whatever. I'm Going To Keep Making It Either Way.

Be Yourself, That’s What Makes The World Go Round!

I Wasn't Going To Great Schools, Because My Parents Didn't Believe In Public Education. They Wanted The Education To Be Influenced By Their Religion, So I Was Going To These Halfway Education-slash-christian Schools That Were Like Pop-up Shop-style Education.

Boom, Boom, Boom, Even Brighter Than The Moon, Moon, Moon, It's Always Been Inside Of You, You, You And Now It's Time To Let It Through, Ooh, Ooh. Cause, Baby, You're A Firework Come On, Show 'em What You're Worth Make 'em Go, "oh! Oh! Oh!" As You Shoot Across The Sky-y-y. Baby, You're A Firework Come On, Let Your Colors Burst Make 'em Go, "oh! Oh! Oh!" You're Gonna Leave 'em Fallin' Down-own-own.

Thank You For Believing In My Weirdness!

But Of Course I Love My Japanese Fans And The Show Must Go On, No Matter The Daily Aftershocks Or Husband Kidnappings! It's Not Right But It's Okay

The Press Is Just Not Your Friend When It Comes To A Marriage. That's Why We Didn't Sell The Pictures Of Our Wedding, And We Got Offered Millions Of Dollars For Them, Millions.

I Don't Care What People Say About My Relationship; I Don't Care What They Say About My Boobs. People Are Buying My Songs; I Have A Sold-out Tour. I'm Getting Incredible Feedback From My Music.

You Change Your Mind Like A Girl Changes Clothes

I Need A Man Who Tells Me The Party's Over, That It's Time To Go Home, Because [we] Have To Work In The Morning.

When I Was Meeting People In L.a., Guys Always Thought If They Paid For Dinner, They Deserved A Blow Job. But Generally, I'll Say This - And I'll Say It Proudly - I Can't Sleep With Someone If I Don't Have A Connection With Them.

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.

I Really Wanted To Call This Album Teenage Wet Dream.

I Had No Clue They Would Fall Into My Armpits Eventually.

I Have To Be A Ginger For 3 Weeks.

Im A Good Girl At Heart Who Just Wants To Have Fun.

I Just Changed As A Person And Have Always Been Changing Constantly From Fifteen To Twenty-three.

I Like A Good Boy, But Sometimes You Get Bored.

I Fall In Love Every Time. And I Don't Really Fall In Love A Lot, But When I Do, I Fall Hard.

Falling In Love

A Lot Of The Time People Don't Even Know What They Want Until They See Something New.

Hollywood Is So Fake And People Need To Realize That People Are Just People, And You, Too, Don't Need To Be Born Into Something Or Have Money Or Have Whatever Product Someone Is Hawking On You.

I Think That Everybody That's Coming Out To Warped Tour, When They Come To See The Show, They're Always Like; Let's Go See That Band That Band That Band And... That Girl. I Think That I Tend To Be That Girl Sometimes And I Think That It's Cool That I Get To Hang Out With This Summer Camp Of Smelly Boys.

No Regrets, Just Love. We Can Dance Until We Die. You And I, We'll Be Young Forever!

You Know You're Living Right When You Wake Up, Brush Your Hair - And Confetti Falls Out!

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'm Not Ashamed, Or Embarrassed. I'm Happy That I Grew Up Listening To Gospel Music And Came From Where I Came From. I Feel Like I Have A History And A Story. That's What I Am And That's What I'll Always Be From. I Was Never Running Away From It.

I Just Like Having Fun.

I'm Like A Fatter Version Of Amy Winehouse And A Skinnier Version Of Lily Allen.

I'm Okay With Having Bad Dance Moves. I'm Okay With Having Horrible Lower Teeth. That's What Makes Me Me, And For Some Reason It's Worked Out All Right.

Everyone Related To Me In My Circle Was From Church: Church Friends, Church School, Church Activities. All My Friends Weren't Allowed To Watch Mtv Or Go To Pg-13 Movies Or Listen To The Radio, So I Didn't Really Know Anything Different. That's How I Was Raised.

When I Was 13, I Asked For A Guitar. And That's How I Really Started Explaining My Point Of View.

I Didn't Come Here To Run For President. I Really Just Came Here To Play Rock And Roll.

I Just Want To Make It Very Clear That I Come From Very Humble Beginnings, And I Worked For Everything!

Humble Beginnings

I Think You Can Have It All, You Just Have To Work Really Hard Because Great Things Don't Come Easily.

Find Out What Your Gift Is And Nurture It.

I'd Never Devote A Whole Record To Heartbreak.

I Think That A Lot Of Teenagers Think They Got It All Down-pat. Especially When They First Move Out And They're On Their Own For The First Time. Oh This Is Easy, This Is Breezy. Then All Of A Sudden It Hits You In Your Mid-twenties That Maybe You Don't Know How To Do Your Taxes Still. There's All Kinds Of Things And You Start Calling Your Parents Up Again.

My Parents Were Strict, But It Was The World I Lived In. I Had No Idea There Was A World Outside.

A Lot Of People Do Things Out Of Fear. A Lot Of People Make Choices, Based On Thinking, They Won’t Have A Career In Five Years. I Know Where I Am, I Know What I Do Is Worth Something And Does Not Have An Expiration Date On It. I’m Not Making Choices — In Any Capacity Of My Life, With Any Kind Of Endorsement, With Any Kind Of Product — Out Of Fear.

Divorce Was Emotionally Traumatic For Me. It Was The Death Of A Dream. I Was In Fairytale Land, And The Reality Of It Wasn't So. But I Don't Really Like Talking About It Anymore, Because It Feels Like A Thousand Lifetimes Ago, And Also It Makes Me Look Desperate, Like I Need It For Attention.

Comparisons Are Easily Done, Once You've Had A Taste Of Perfection

My Religious Upbringing Was Comically Strict — Even The Dirt Devil Vacuum Cleaner Was Banned. In Our House, No One Was Allowed To Refer To Deviled Eggs. We Had To Call Them Angelic Eggs. We Were Never Allowed To Swear. I'd Get Into Trouble Just For Saying 'hell No'. If You Dropped A Hammer On Your Toe In Our House You Had To Say Something Like 'jiminy Christmas'. The Only Music We Were Allowed To Listen To Was Gospel. No Wonder I Rebelled.

I Wasn't Allowed To Listen To A Lot Of Music Growing Up. It Wasn't Until I Started To Make My Gospel Record When I Was Around 14 Or 15 That I Started To Be Exposed To More Outside Influences.

I Am Not A Feminist, But I Do Believe In The Strength Of Women... This Social Revolution Of Feminism In The '70s Really Achieved So Many Of Its Goals-not Every Single One Of Them, Obviously-but I Think We Should Say It's Great That These Young Women Don't Feel Like They Need To Be Feminists.

I Think That You Should Definitely Listen To What People Say, Because Everyone Says It: High School Is Not The Real World.

People Talk About Bullying, But You Can Be Your Own Bully In Some Ways. You Can Be The Person Who Is Standing In The Way Of Your Success, And That Was The Case For Me.

When I Kissed A Girl, Nobody Was Around. So I Didn't Do It For Anybody. I'm Not A Lesbian. I Encourage Anybody To Try Anything, Just Make Sure You Have Integrity And Character. It Doesn't Matter Who Anyone Loves. I Am For Gay Rights And I Also Have A Boyfriend.

I Got This Jesus Tattoo On My Wrist When I Was 18 Because I Know That It's Always Going To Be A Part Of Me. When I'm Playing, It's Staring Right Back At Me, Saying, 'remember Where You Came From.'

Remember Where You Came

I Never Live In The Present. I'd Do Interviews And People Will Say, "isn't This Great?" Or "can You Believe?" And I Would React, Like, "no, I Can't Believe It Because I'm Not Living In This Moment."

I'd Go To The Farmers' Market In Santa Barbara, And I'd Put Out My Guitar Case, And I'd Test Out These Little Ditty Songs That I Would Write, And I Would Get A Couple Of Avocados, A Bag Of Pistachios, And, Like, Fifteen Bucks. That Was A Lot Of Money For Me.

If You're Presenting Yourself With Confidence, You Can Pull Off Pretty Much Anything.

You Don't Have To Feel Like A Waste Of Space, Your Original Can Not Be Replaced

My Parents Are Very Quirky, Eccentric. They Have Their Own World.

It Can Be The Most Difficult Thing To Do, But Love Conquers Fear And Love Conquers Hate And This Love That You Choose Will Give You Strength And It's Our Greatest Power.

Now It's Clear To Me/ That Everything You See/ Ain't Always What It Seems.

My Career Is Like An Artichoke. People Might Think That The Leaves Are Tasty And Buttered Up And Delicious, And They Don't Even Know That There's Something Magical Hidden At The Base Of It. There's A Whole Other Side Of Me That People Didn't Know Existed.

I'm Definitely Not Trying To Be, Or Am, A Poster Child For Anything So Structured. But I Do Have My Own Personal Faith Most Definitely.

My Heart Beat Beats Me Senselessly Why's Everything Gotta Be So Intense With Me.

Not To Sound Overly Cheesy But I Really Appreciate The Freedom We Have In America - Especially As A Female.

I Have A Confidence Because My Research Shows That I Should Just Really Trust My Instincts.

Using Blasphemy As Entertainment Is As Cheap As A Comedian Telling A Fart Joke.

They Think That I Was Like Amy Grant, When Actually No! The Label Went Bankrupt And Maybe Sold A Couple Hundred Records And That's About It. I Was Just Trying Different Things.

Trying Different Things

For A Modern Woman It Is Important To Be Supported And That There Is Equality In Every Aspect, And That It's Not Two Halves That Make A Whole - It's Two Wholes That Make A Whole.

I Don't Feel Like I'm Very Pop-star Lame, But I'm Definitely Not Hipster-cool.

I Feel Really Blessed Because Of Where I Come From.

I Unfortunately Still Crave Chicken Mcnuggets And Bacon, Which Is The Meat Candy Of The World.

I Called Record Prism Because I Actually Finally Let The Light In And Then I Was Able To Create All These Songs That Were Inspired By Letting The Light In And Doing Some Self-reflection And Just Kind Of Working On Myself.

I Love Those Documentaries Where Everyone Is Fabulous And Always Perfect.

Maybe A Reason Why All The Doors Are Closed So You Can Open One That Leads You To The Perfect Road.

I Really Like To Look Like A History Book. I Can Look 1940s, I Can Look 1970s Hippie-chic, Or Sometimes I'll Pull That '80s Brooklyn Hip-hop Kid With The Door-knocker Earrings.

I Came From A Lot Of Intolerance And Prejudice, Which Aren't Necessarily Healthy To Evolve As A Human.

I Don't Want To Completely Self-sabotage Everything That I've Got And Alienate Everyone. But I Definitely Want To Take Some Chances As I Always Have.

You Can't Be A Full Tranny Every Day Of The Week That's An Exaggerated Part Of My Personality.

Days Of The Week

I've Done A Lot Of Bad Things. Use Your Imagination.

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.

If You Can Believe In Something Great, Then You Can Achieve Something Great.

Now I’m Floating Like A Butterfly Stinging Like A Bee I Earned My Stripes I Went From Zero, To My Own Hero

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 Scared. I'm Excited. I'm Ready For Whatever Happens But I Think That Fame Is What Comes Along With The Territory When You Open Yourself Up And Become This Story, This Book For Anyone To Read.

I Think Sometimes When Children Grow Up, Their Parents Grow Up. Mine Grew Up With Me. We Coexist. I Don't Try To Change Them Anymore, And I Don't Think They Try To Change Me. We Agree To Disagree.

It Was So Draining. Going To Parties To Rub Elbows With So-and-so And Act Like It's No Big Deal, When Really All I Was Doing Was Hoping I'd Have The Success They Had.

What I Wanted To Be And Who I Am Is A Singer And A Songwriter. I Wanted To Be Onstage, And I Wanted The World To Hear My Music. The Product Of That Is Fame And The Disgusting Celebrity That Goes Along With It. But Celebrity Does Not Equal Creativity.

I Still Want To Make A Pop Record. I Want To Make A More Sonically Current Pop Record. I Maybe Want To Make People Move A Little Bit More.

In Another Life, I Would Be Your Belle

My Singing Is Really Important To Me, But When Children Come Along They'll Be My Main Focus. I'd Never Put My Career In Front Of My Babies - It'd Be A Case Of Fitting Jobs Around Them.

Don't Care What People Gonna Think Of You, Do What You Wanna Do And Seek Just Your Happiness.

And I Know, There Is Nothing That I Would Not Do For You, Forever Be True, And I Know, Although Times Can Be Hard We Will See It Through, I'm Forever In Love With You.

I Grew Up Listening To Gospel. That Was The Only Thing That I Had Reference To Because That Was What My Family Was Involved With.

I Am Not A Feminist, But I Do Believe In The Strength Of Women.

I Don't Have A Kate Moss Body, But I'm Very Proud And Happy With Mine.

I Think It's Great To Dress Up And Play On All The Girly Features.

When I Love Somebody, I Love Somebody. Like, I Want To Marry Them. I Don't Date Around. I Haven't Been On A Date.

I Believe In A Lot Of Astrology. I Believe In Aliens. I Look Up Into The Stars And I Imagine: How Self-important Are We To Think That We Are The Only Life-form?

I'm Going To Let Love Lead The Way, Always. And I Was Born With This Blind - Blind Ambition, And It's Kind Of Gotten Me Here To This Point. And I Think That I'll Stick To It.

I Think Some People Will Die On The Stage, And I'm Not So Sure I Want To Do That. Like, I Want To Have Kids! I'm Totally Fine With Saying That. I Think Some People Are Scared Because They're Worried It's Going To Ruin Their Career, But I Want To Live A Full Life.

I'm An Emotional Person. I Love Music That Moves Me And Makes The Hair On My Arms Stand Up. And I Want The Same Thing In Relationships. Either You Can Keep Up Or You Can't.

I Still Want To Be As Approachable And Relatable As Possible - When I Meet Fans And They're Crying, I'll Say, 'calm Down, There's Nothing To Cry About.'

I Have Multipersonality Disorder - In A Very Good Way, Of Course - When It Comes To My Fashion Choices.

I'm Really Happy To Be On The Cover As A Strong Female Who Has Created Her Own Career.

I Just Have So Much Love For My Record Label.

There Are Times I Go Out And Meet People And Flirt, But It's Not Really Appropriate To Have Anything Serious.

Speaking In Tongues Is As Normal To Me As 'pass The Salt' It's A Secret, Direct Prayer Language To God.

I Love The Seahawks Because Of Russell [wilson] And I Think That I'm Going To Probably Go For Them!

Recycle Those Nerves And Make Them Adreneline.

I’m Not Buddhist, I’m Not Hindu, I’m Not Christian, But I Still Feel Like I Have A Deep Connection With God.

I Went From Zero To My Own Hero

We're Technology Obsessed. I Think It's Easier To Text Than To Actually Say Hi To Someone.

Last Friday Night; Yeah We Danced On Tabletops. And We Took Too Many Shots. Think We Kissed, But I Forgot?

I Can Feel A Phoenix Inside Of Me. I Can See The Heavens But I Still Hear The Flames Calling Out My Name.

I Still Believe In Love, Most Definitely. I'm Just Going To Let That Take The Lead.

Believe In Love

My Dad Would Give Me $10, Which Is A Lot Of Money When You're 9, To Sing At Church, On Tables At Restaurants, At Family Functions, Just About Anywhere.

I'm On This Extraordinary Adventure, And If I Have No One To Talk To At The End Of The Night, I Feel Lonely.

I'm A Woman Who Likes To Be Courted - Strongly.

The Internet Is Such A Strange Place. You Can Put Up One Thing On There Like, Katy Perry Was A Taekwondo Master Of The Black Belt! When Really All I Did Was One Kickboxing Class. That's How I Think My Short Time In Doing My Gospel Record Was Like.

How Do I Get Better Once I've Had The Best?

My Personality Is Up And Down, Sassy And Cheeky.

I Was, Like, Just Eating Flamin' Hot Cheetos And Drinking, And That's It.

I Guess I Prefer To Play Live, But I Don't Want To Have Only Live Cds. I Like Playing Live Because There Are Alot Of Things That Can Happen. I Can Interact With The Audience And Say Some Things To Get Me In Trouble. On The Other Hand, The Studio Is Nice Because You Can Really Take Your Time And Make Something That You Know Is The Best Thing That You Can Ever Do. But Nothing Beats Being Up On Stage In Front Of All That Energy.

The Summer After High School, When We First Met, We Make Out In Your Mustang, To Radiohead, And On My 18th Birthday, We Got Matching Tattoes, Used To Steal Your Parents Liquor, Then Climb To The Roof, Talk About Our Future Like We Had A Clue, Never Thought I'd Wondering I'd Be Losing You In Another Life, I Would Be Your Belle

I'm Not Coming Out Trying To Prove Anything To Anyone, Like, 'oh, I'm In Assless Chaps!' Or 'i Can't Be Tamed!' I've Already Been Through That Phase. I Started At 23, You Know?

My Mother Is Very Emotional As Well, But My Dad Is More Of The Guts Of The Family. He Was The Main Preacher, So He Kind Of Had This Little Pentecostal Flair, But They Are Born-again.

Cause In You're Eyes, I'd Like To Stay

My Style Icons Were Gwen Stefani, When She Was In No Doubt, And Then Shirley Manson In Garbage.

You Think I'm Pretty Without Any Make-up On You Think I'm Funny When I Tell The Punch Line Wrong I Know You Get Me So I'll Let My Walls Come Down, Down.

I've Always Been Ambitious Since I Was Nine Years Old And That Was Never Going To Change.

I Come From A Very Non-accepting Family, But I'm Very Accepting.

I'm Not Defined By Where I Came From.

Agree To Disagree

I Grew Up Raised In Church, My Parents Are Both Traveling Ministers. They Blocked Out Mtv Which Was Fine, But I'd Find Myself Figuring Out Who New Kids On The Block Were.

This Is The City That Taught Me How To Write All Of These Cool Songs. Yeah, You Guys Definitely Need A Royalty.

If You Are Not Happy With Something, You Should Change It. So I Went To A Lot Of Therapy, And Finally, I Am Able To Speak Up For Myself: You Are Going To Hear Me Roar!

I Am Never Usually Taking Myself Too Seriously And I Think That People When They Read Stuff From Me, They Have To Realise That I'm Having Fun.

I Grew Up Not Really Having Anything, So The Idea That I Can Take Care Of My Family And My Friends Now Is A Really Cool Bonus.

People Don't Want Just Vanilla. They Want 31 Flavors. I Couldn't Do What Rihanna Does. I Couldn't Do What Gaga Does. They Can't Do What I Do.

I Say What I Think. I'm A Real Person, Not Some Manufactured Pop Tart Who's Afraid To Step Out Of The Hotel Room. I Am Flawed. I Swear, I Have The Occasional Cocktail, I Pick My Nose And I Fart. I'm Not Running For Any Presidential Campaign At The Moment. I'm A Sassy Girl.

I Can't Just Be The Girl Who Sang 'i Kissed A Girl.' I Have To Leave A Legacy.

I Think People Appreciate A Songwriter Who Shows Different Sides. The Whole Angst Thing Is Cool, But If That's All You've Got, It's Just Boring. Everything I Write, Whether It's Happy Or Sad, Has A Sense Of Humor To It.

With Songs, I've Always Pledged To Be Honest. I Write My Songs Because I've Lived Them.

The Media Tried To Destroy My Parents And Has Taken Things Completely Out Of Context, But There's Not A Whole Lot You Can Do In Terms Of Fighting Back. You Have To Hope That It Passes, Which It Always Does. But They Have To Be Careful. They Didn't Necessarily Sign Up For This.

If People Want A Role Model, They Can Have Miley Cyrus.

I Think When You Put Sex And Spirituality In The Same Bottle And Shake It Up, Bad Things Happen.

I'm Okay With Having Horrible Lower Teeth.

There's A Spark In You You've Just Gotta Ignite The Light And Let It Shine.

I Was A Hop-around. I Hung Out With The Rockabilly Crew, The Guys Who Were Trying To Be Rappers, The Funny Kids.

Be Yourself & You Can Be Anything.

I'm Every Woman. It Takes A Village To Make Me Who I Am.

It Takes A Village

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.

The Media, Is Media. You Always Have To Take The Media With A Grain Of Salt. You Can't Believe Everything You Read.

I Got A Fantastic Person To Work Me Out And Get Me Into Really Good Shape.

Everybody Wants To Have A Commentary On My Life, Like They Are Actually Living It. Cool, Comment All You Want But I'm The One That's Living It.

Actually Living

Honesty Has Always Worked For Me.

In Another Life, I Would Be Your Girl, We Keep All Our Promises, The Us Against The World, In Another Life, I Would Make You Stay, So I Don't Have To Say You Were The One That Got Away The One That Got Away

Santa Barbara Is My Hood. I Mean, It's Not Much Of A Hood, But It Is Definitely Like My Hood. I Claim Santa Barbara Like I Claim My Family. I'm Going To Be Married And Buried There.

I Can't Be The Candy Queen Forever.

I Crushed On The Most Popular Guy In School! I Saw Him At A Concert And I Shouted Out," Is That Shane Lopes? You Were The Most Popular Guy In My Class, But You Never Wanted To Go Out With Me. Instead It Was Amanda Wayne. What Are You Thinking Now?

I Will Love You Unconditionally .

I Consider Myself A Believer In Something Much Bigger Than Myself, Thank God.

I Can Assure You, Nothing In My Performance Will Be Deflated

I Have A Soft Spot For Women, I'm Not Afraid Of It, Some Women Walk Into The Room, And They're So Beautiful And You're Like, 'i Wanna Smell You' You Know?

My Fans Are The Best. I Mean If There Was A War, I Think They'd Definitely Win Just Because They'd Kill Them With Kindness.

I Don't Need The Prince Charming To Have My Own Happy Ending.

Independent Women

The First Songs I Wrote Were Catchy, But The Subject Matter Was God.

When I First Started Out, I Was Really Attracted To Having My Own Sense Of Style Because I Started Swing Dancing, Lindy Hop, And Jitterbug.

I Can't Rate Myself, But If You Ask Russell I'm Sure He'd Give Me A Ten Out Of Ten.

I'm A Good Girl Because I Really Believe In Love, Integrity, And Respect.

You Said Move On, Where Do I Go?

I'd Like To Say I'd Like To Be As Big As A Gwen Or A Madonna, But I Think Those Days Of Achieving That Level Are Over. The Media Is Bringing Everybody Down.

Do You Ever Feel Like A Plastic Bag, Drifting Throught The Wind, Wanting To Start Again. Do You Ever Feel, Feel So Paper Thin, Like A House Of Cards, One Blow From Caving In.

You Never Know What's Actually Going On In A Person's Life. You Don't Know What Happened To Them Before You Met Them...and That's Why They Are The Way They Are. But I Do Think About It Whenever I Get In Contact With My Fans. I Know This May Be The Only Time They'll Ever Meet Me. I Try To Take Advantage Of That Moment And Be Kind And Grateful.

I Wanted It To Be Like Amy Grant, But It Didn't Pan Out That Way. My Label Actually Went Bankrupt, And I Was Left Without A Home.

I Was Not Even Allowed To Mention The Name Madonna In My Household - Just Because I Think The '80s And '90s Were So Madonna-filled. She Was Going Through So Many Evolutions At That Time.

Sometimes I Can Be Distracted By The Glamour And The Fabulousness.

I'll Continue To Try And Balance Like A Circus Act. And I Will Just Fight To Always Tell The Truth. Even If It's Difficult.

I Was Raised In A Super-sheltered Atmosphere Where We Didn't Watch Anything Besides Trinity Broadcasting Network - Which Was Called Tbn - Or The Fox News Channel.

I'm A Romantic And I Kinda Believed In This Fairy Tale. And In Some Ways I Think That's Always Been To My Advantage, Because Like If You Can Believe In Something Great, I Feel Like You Can Achieve Something Great.

I Like To Go Out There Looking Like A Strong Woman, Because I Am Strong. But I Am Also A Woman Who Goes Through All Kinds Of Problems And Highs And Lows.

New York! I [love] U! You're Officially The Coolest Place On The Planet!

I Always Tell My Fans That Are Closest To Me, If It's Not Coming From My Mouth, My Website, Or My Appointed Person, Then It's Generally Not True. Or It's An Exaggeration.

I Still Have A Spiritual Base And A Spiritual Foundation.

I Sacrifice In My Love Life And My Social Life, But Those Things Will Be There In Three Or Four Years. This Is A Really Important Time In My Life. I Can't Just Be The Girl Who Sang 'i Kissed A Girl.' I Have To Leave A Legacy.

I'm A Woman Who Likes To Be Courted, Strongly. Never Say Never, I Guess You'd Say. I'll Let Love Take The Lead On That.

Never Say Never

I've Actually Always Wanted To Make Something Like An Acoustic Record.

There Are A Lot Of Things That Are Personally Uncomfortable To Show, Especially Me Without Makeup And Completely Bloated Or Crying. But I’ve Realized That It’s Time For Me To Show My Audience That You Don’t Have To Be Perfect To Achieve Your Dreams. Because Nobody Relates To Being Perfect.

You Can Get Through It And You Can Land On Your Feet Triumphantly And Strong.
