In the end you’ll see you won’t stop me.Collection: Ends
For me, my voice and music was always an outlet. Growing up in an unstable environment and whatnot, music was my only real escape.Collection: Music
Not to say that music today doesn't have heart, but it's really few and far between because technology has advanced itself so much that anybody can be a singer. Back in the day, you had to know how to sing.Collection: Heart
I love the old Hollywood glam look: platinum blonde hair, the perfect red lip. It's very Marilyn Monroe and shows a pure feminine beauty.Collection: Hair
There's always a positive to those negative times, because you come out of it so much stronger and wiser. Strength comes from every hardship, and it's been a lesson for me.Collection: Stronger

I think an artist can fit under a few different categories depending on how much you explore your creativity. It can vary from artist to artist from musician to performer to vocalist. I thrive on creativity. So in the long run I want to be an all around entertainer.Collection: Running
So consumed in all your doom, trying hard to fill the emptiness.Collection: Sadness
The female form is much more erotic than the male, who doesn't think that?Collection: Thinking
One day I hope to open a shelter of my own. I think it's really important to share my own story with women who've been abused, because going through that experience has led me to where I am today: It's given me the strength and motivation to be the best that I can be.Collection: Motivation
To the sky, I rise / Spread my wings, and fly / I leave the past behind / And say goodbye to the scared child inside / I sing for freedom, and for love / I look at my reflection / Embrace the woman I've become / The unbreakable lotus in me / I now set freeCollection: Goodbye
Men aren't as strong and capable as we are. We're machines.Collection: Strong
Being a working mother is not easy, but I think it helps you choose what's important in your life. If I think about starting a new project - whether it be music, a movie or a fragrance - I always stop and think: Is this something I feel really passionate about? That way, if I'm not at home at least it's for something I really love, and my son can look up to that.Collection: Mother
We have something called naked Sundays ... You have to keep marriage alive, spice it up ... We don't need to go anywhere, we're just with each other. We do everything naked. We cook naked.Collection: Sunday
I don't need nobody tryin' to make me over -- I just wanna live simple and free.Collection: Simple
I embrace my body, and I embrace everything about myself. Coming full circle is a celebration of freedom and happiness because that's what [my new album] 'Lotus' is representing. I'm embracing everything that I've grown to be and learned to be.Collection: Circles
So now the devil's in my soul.Collection: Soul
[2010] was a rough year. Between my divorce and the other things I went through, a lot happened. It's hard for anyone to go through that in public. But when you're a celebrity and under a microscope, it's 58 million times harder. I grew an even thicker skin after that hard year.Collection: Divorce
That overachieving, ambitious, nobody-can-hold-me-down attitude I had, which came from a place of anger and aggression, has transformed into feeling like I will take on the world, but I will do it with an embrace, rather than with my dukes up.Collection: Attitude
You are beautiful, no matter what they say.Collection: Beautiful
I enjoy real people, down-to-earth people who are true to themselves and honest to your face - good or bad.Collection: Real
I just kick off my shoes, walk around barefoot, I don't care if my feet get dirty.Collection: Dirty
I'm an artist, and expressing myself in a sexual way, no matter how that changes throughout the years, is something that has always come naturally to me. At this point of my life, I'm 32 and I feel sexier than ever because you know what you want.Collection: Artist
Let's get glam. It's all in the way you move. Let's get glam. Don't let the clothes wear you. Let's get glam. It's all an attitude.Collection: Attitude
Call me a slag. If it means being a strong woman, I'll gladly be that.Collection: Strong Women
Time heals everything. Sometimes you have to go through that pain and heartbreak so that you can get to the other side and come out on top.Collection: Pain
I love getting my feet massaged.Collection: Feet
The real beauty - inside, it comes from the heart, where love lives. If not, even the most common facial features can not hide the emptiness, which eventually pushes people.Collection: Real
Bruises fade father, but the pain remains the same. And I still remember how you kept me so afraid.Collection: Family
I don't want to be just a straight pop singer. I'm a vocalist and that's what I want to be seen as in the long run.Collection: Running
If I was having a bad day, or if something was really getting me down -- boy troubles, whatever -- I wanted to go out and get a new piercing. It was definitely a release for me. Something that made me feel a little more strong or empowered. Because it was something that had to do with me and no one else.Collection: Strong
I’ve never watched an entire episode of "American Idol." It’s too mean. Why would anyone want to go on a show to be ripped apart? I don’t want to be tough with my singers, but I do want to tell them on "The Voice" that if you really want this, you’ll be kicked when you’re down. You have to be willing to roll with those punches. You have to really want it.Collection: Mean
When there's no one else look inside yourself -- like your oldest friend -- just trust the voice within -- then you'll find the strength that will guide your way. You'll learn to begin to trust the voice within.Collection: Voice
It's frustrating always being compared to Britney because we are two very different artists... We both dance and sing but people have not yet had enough time to realise that there is a huge difference between us. If she wants to go and do something, I'll want to do the opposite.Collection: Artist
