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.

Remember Where You Came

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?

I Had Two Cars Repossessed, Tons Of Debt. I Had A Horrible Job That Was Damaging To My Soul. After Being On Three Different Labels And Knowing Everyone And Hearing Yeses And Nos And "you're It!" Or "you're S - T!" I Was Depressed. But I Never Took No For An Answer And Really Believed In Myself.

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

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

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'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 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.

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.

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.

After A Hurricane, Comes A Rainbow.

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.

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

I Can't Be The Candy Queen Forever.

The Records Are Black Boxes For Me. Like, If You Want To Know Who I Am, My Views, My Perspective, Things I Love, Things I Hate, My Convictions, My Anthems. I've Never Let People's Opinions Affect The Way I Write.

I'm Competitive With Myself, And That Goes Hand In Hand With How I Present Myself. I'm Not Only Trying To Put One Foot In Front Of The Other, I'm Trying To Put My Best Foot Forward.

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!

Be Yourself & You Can Be Anything.

I Still Have A Spiritual Base And A Spiritual Foundation. And My Conversation With God Is Very Open-ended. I Pray For Humility, Honestly, Because It's Very Easy To Be Caught Up In This World.

I'm Just Singing About My Own Life. Singing About All The Little Stories In My Life And The Things I've Been Through.

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 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.

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

I Think That Maybe People Comment On The Internet Because They Never Know If They're Going To Be Able To Meet That One Person And They Want To Have A Say So, Or What Have-you.

That One Person

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

I'm Happy, I'm In A Good Place, I'm Looking Forward To My Future.

Looking Forward

So Take A Chance And Don't Ever Look Back.

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?

In Another Life, I Would Be Your Belle

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

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.

Acceptance Is The Key To Be Truly Free.

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

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

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

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

I See Everything Through A Spiritual Lens.

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.

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

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?

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

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

I'm Not Defined By Where I Came From.

Agree To Disagree

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

I Will Love You Unconditionally .

I've Just Always Been Very Aware And Careful Of Everything, So That I Can Be Ready For The Perfect Opportunities As They Come. I Don't Take Anything For Granted Or Wait For Anything To Come To Me.

I'm Not Defined By Where I Came From. I Never Took Part In The Rules And Hatred That Sometimes Go Along With Religion. But If My Parents Are Happy With What They Believe, Then I'm Happy To Stay Out Of Their Way. We Agree To Disagree.

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.

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

I'm Okay If Everything Is Honest And Truthful And Relatable. If It's Fabricated And Ill-motived, It's Not Good.

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.

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

You Change Your Mind Like A Girl Changes Clothes

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

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.

Ever Since I Was Younger I Wanted To Be On Stage, Singing My Songs In A Glittering Costume. And That Happened And Is Still Happening. I Have To Remember That This Is What I Wished For And Be Grateful Because There Are 500 Other Girls Right Behind Me That Are Ready To Snatch It Up.

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

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 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.

All This Money Can't Buy Me A Time Machine.

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

I Have A Soft Spot For Musicians. If A Man Could Ride This Roller Coaster With Me And Come Out Alive, Then I Guess We'd Deserve Each Other's Company.

Touring Is Always Important To Me. It's Like A Big Iou To My Fans, Because I Know They Are The Reason I Exist.

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 Never Want To Be Just One Thing - I Want To Be Multidimensional.

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 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.

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.

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

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

I Love What I Do, And When I Don't Love What I Do, I'll Make A Change...i Can't Be The Candy Queen Forever.

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

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.

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

Relationships Are Kind Of Like Riding A Bull. You Hang On For Dear Life And Sometimes You Get A Little Buck Here And There ... But You Get Back On.

Even If You Actually Have The Good Intent To Do Something Creative Or Special With Your Life, It's Hard. I Mean, Look At The Number Of People Who Actually Get The Opportunity.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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'm Okay With Having Horrible Lower Teeth.

Maybe I'm Competitive. I Just Feel Like I Have This Gift That I've Been Given. It's Like, "someone Unwrap It! Here It Is!" That Drive Can't Be Held Down. I Have A Lot Of Ambition.

I Have To Be A Ginger For 3 Weeks.

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.

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

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

Baby You're A Firework, Come On, Let Your Colors Burst!!

Find Out What Your Gift Is And Nurture It.

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

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 Feel Like My Secret Magic Trick That Separates Me From A Lot Of My Peers Is The Bravery To Be Vulnerable And Truthful And Honest.

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

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

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

You Said Move On, Where Do I Go?

The Past Is Like A Handful Of Dust. It Filters Through Your Fingers, Disappearing Little By Little. I Wish, For One Day, I Could Go Back. In Another Life I Would Do Things Differently.

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 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 Feel Like I Have A Little Bit Of A Fresh Ear When Creating Music. I'm Not Trying To Be Like Anything Else, Cuz I Have No Idea What Anything Else Is Like!

I Came From A Different Mind-set Growing Up, And My Mind Has Changed.

In Another Life, I Would Be Your Girl. Capable Of Making Promises. We Would Rule The World.

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.

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 Pray All The Time — For Self-control, For Humility. There's A Lot Of Gratitude In It. Just Saying 'thank You' Sometimes Is Better Than Asking For Things.

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.

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

I Did My Gospel Record, But There Was Nothing Really Of It. Maybe A Hundred People Bought It. But It's One Of Those Things On The Internet That People Find And They Make Into A Big Deal.

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.

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

I Feel Really Blessed Because Of Where I Come From.

Throw Your Stick And Stones, Throw Your Bombs And Your Blows, But You're Not Gonna Break My Soul.

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

Believe In Love

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 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.

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

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.

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.

I Wish That I Was Looking Into Your Eyes

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

I Just Like Having Fun. And, You Know, Sometimes I Just Like To Present Myself In That Fun Energy.

Beautiful Mind, Tortured Soul. I Do Have To Figure Out Why I Am Attracted To These Broken Birds.

I Wanted To Be That Quirky Girl Who Writes Funny Songs That Still Have Meaning.

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.

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

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

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.

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

It Takes A Village

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

You Have To Spend A Lot To Make A Lot. It's Not Like I'm Sitting On Top Of A Pile Of Money.

My Job Is For The People. It's For The Public. It's For Their Consumption. So I've Done A Lot In That Way, And I See That The Hard Work Has Finally Paid Off.

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.

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.

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

Talking About The Future, Like We Had A Clue. Never Plans That One Day, I'd Be Losing You

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.

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.

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.

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

I'm Still Driving Along On The Pop Freeway Of Life. Thinking Even Further Into The Future, I Definitely Want To Make An Acoustic Record. I Want To Try Lots Of Different Things.

I'm Either Going To Go Completely Mental, Completely Bankrupt, Or Have The Best Success Of My Life.

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

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.

I Think Rihanna Always Looks So Fresh And I'm Like, "how Do You Do That? We All Know How Much Pot You Smoke!"

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.

One Thing I Can't Do, And I Hope That There Are Other People Out There That Feel The Same Way, Is Climb A Rope. Oh My Gosh, It's So Hard To Climb Rope! It's All About Grip And Arms.

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.
