"I wanted to be a teacher. I love children, so I wanted to deal with children. Then I wanted to be a veterinarian. But by the age of ten or eleven, when I opened my mouth and said, 'Oh, God, what's this?' I kind of knew teaching and being a veterinarian were gonna have to wait."

"I finally faced the fact that it isn't a crime not having friends. Being alone means you have fewer problems."

"When I decided to be a singer, my mother warned me I'd be alone a lot. Basically we all are. Loneliness comes with life."

"When I decided to be a singer, my mother warned me I'd be alone a lot. Basically we all are."

"I believe that children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way. Show them all the beauty they possess inside."

"I have a mother that's very strong and family that surround me and constantly tell me they love me."
