"I'm not perfect. I make mistakes. But I always try to learn from them."

"I’m not gonna let some clown come in here and tell me how to sing my own damn song."

"I'm a very successful woman. I've achieved a lot in my life. I've won a lot of awards. I've sold a lot of records. I've performed for a lot of people. I've made a lot of money."

"I just want to be respected. I don't want to be adored."

"I am not a person that is quick to cry. I'm just not. I'm not that emotional. But I am a person that is very quick to laughter. I can laugh at anything."
