I think that for me personally, a lot of my choices have been to do with my own issues of not feeling safe as a child and feeling a sense of stability.
I didn't have a strong male figure in my life on a day-to-day basis. So I think that whole [marriage] situation, a lot of it stems from a place where I was out there alone as a really and I always felt like the rug could be pulled out from under me.
I don't think anyone knows as much about what's right for me as I do.
I do not think I reinvent myself. Wearing my hair differently or changing my style of dress is playing dress-up. I don't take it too seriously.
People are constantly asking me if I'm pregnant, but I don't like to talk about it too much. I just think about it as the next phase. We'll see.
I work myself into the ground. But I think I'm a nice friend and a good person, and I try to do my work as best I can.
In this world, I call the shots and I think I know best.
I am thinking of you in my sleepless solitude tonight.
There is a light at the end of the tunnel... hopefully its not a freight train!
I think one of the reasons I pushed myself so hard and worked so hard is because I never felt special.
I prayed very hard for this to happen and it happened. I don't even think about what I've achieved, I haven't focused on it and I wish I had, because I really want to enjoy it, and I don't know if I am enjoying it, because I am going through my life like a bulldozer. I still haven't marvelled at it.
We're all a little wacko sometimes, and if we think we're not, maybe we are more than we know.
I've seen the real extreme diva behaviour and I don't think that's who I am.
A lot of people are singing about how screwed up the world is, and I don't think that everybody wants to hear about that all the time.
