you got to want it to be good, and I don't want it.
I just think it's silly to be stingy with compliments. If you see someone and they strike you as beautiful in any way, why not let them know?
Beauty is an understanding of what you have, and it's forgiving yourself of what you don't have, and appreciating all of it.
Ain't nothing coming easily in this life. Sometimes you gotta work, you gotta grow and it gotta hurt.
Just because you have a nightmare doesn't mean you stop dreaming.
Find new treasures in yourself. Love doesn't die. Love is unyielding. It's going to come back. The more you love and appreciate yourself, the more prepared you are when the real thing shows up.
If you can't help me grow, there's no point with you being in my life.
I've tried to be very specific about what we can and should do.
It was never in my dreams to make my personal life anybody else's business.
They may kill me, but they cannot kill my ideas. They can crush my body, but they will not be able to crush my spirit.
I just went to Europe, spent a year traveling, and then I came home with a finished album and said, "Hey everyone I'm back!" I gave everyone their lighters from Luxembourg, gave them the postcards from Italy and Rome, then said, "Hey look, I made a record, too" and played it for them. The general reaction was shock, because it was so different from what they've known me to do.
