Never, never listen to anybody that tries to discourage you...
Everyone said I was fat, so I did something about it.
They can call me whatever they want, ... I never went anywhere. And my real fans have always been here for me. And, you know what? It's a wonderful feeling and everything I have is because God has blessed me with this and I'll always be grateful for what I have.
Something in your eyes captured my soul, and every night I see you in my dreams. You're all I know. I can't let go.
If you see me as just the princess then you misunderstand who I am and what I have been through.
I've seen other artists put out movies that went straight to DVD, and no one cared. Maybe their own fans bought the thing, and that was fine.
Never, never listen to anybody that try to discourage you.
People are like, 'What is your whole obsession with butterflies?' I'm like, 'I'm not obsessed. I like them. Can't anybody like something?'
You really have to look inside yourself and find your own inner strength, and say, 'I'm proud of what I am and who I am, and I'm just going to be myself.'
I've been blessed to live my dream more than half my life, so I want help give that back to someone else.
I think certain people like to torture me because they think I've had it easier than I actually have and they think: 'Oh, she's got this, she's got that, she's always had everything perfect,' and it's sooo not true.
This is an incredible night. I never expected to be standing here.
This country is fabulous, I always have a good time here -- and I plan to move to London soon.
It's not about my character, but she has an important part of the story without the whole thing resting on my shoulders. Plus, I'll be able to get up and go to work and be somebody else for the day, and we like that, because sometimes you just need to get away.
