We’re not broken, just bent, and we can learn to love again.
I’ve always felt that animals are the purest spirits in the world. They don’t fake or hide their feelings, and they are the most loyal creatures on Earth. And somehow we humans think we’re smarter-what a joke.
This life gets lonely when everybody wants something.
I’m never the kind of person who’s sitting at home reading the charts and basing how I feel about myself or even my career on stats. I’ve always based it on, ‘Am I doing the best that I can do?’
I don’t try to be candy coated. I don’t try to walk on eggshells. I am what I am. Love me or hate me.
There are 50 new tabloids every year, and I’m in them, and I read them, and I do stupid things.
When you have a dark side, nothing is ever as good as it seems.
Carey’s had though times as well, so between the two of us, it’s perfect.
My mum and I have an incredible friendship now after a mixture of pain, honesty, unconditional love and a long break from each other.
I sing my life. It’s like I’m having group therapy 350 days a year, and the people who come to the show get that, and they’re there for that – whether it’s to be lifted up, or to be lifted out, or just entertained or inspired, or to feel not so alone.

I don’t think imitation is the highest form of flattery, I think it’s annoying.
My fans mean more to me than they will ever know. I call these people my friends and my confidence and if they are here to see me and they are here to support me, then that’s all I need in life.
If I wasted my time trying to be like everybody else when I was 10 and 11, I wouldn’t be me today. So if you are gonna be the future rockstars, the future somebody, whatever you wanna be then you’re wasting your time trying to be somebody else, because you’ll never get to you.
But just because it burns doesn’t mean you’re gonna die. You’ve gotta get up and try, try, try.
I’m about to make people forget about Madonna.
Pretty, pretty please, don’t you ever ever feel like you’re less than, less than perfect.
I dedicate my love and whole heart this Memorial Day to my Dad, a soldier, who like many others, suffers in silence with pride and honor.
I’d rather bleed with cuts of love than live without any scars.
