Sometimes you have to let everything go - purge yourself. If you are unhappy with anything - whatever is bringing you down - get rid of it. Because you will find that when you are free, your true creativity, your true self comes out.
The older you get, the more you realize it's not what happens, but how you deal with it.
You must love and care for yourself, because that's when the best comes out.
You asked me if I ever stood up for anything. Yeah, I stood up for my life.
I believe that if you'll just stand up and go, life will open up for you.
My legacy is that I stayed on course...from the beginning to the end, because I believed in something inside of me.
I never said Well, I don't have this and I don't have that. I said, I don't have this yet, but I'm going to get it.
My greatest beauty secret is being happy with myself. I don't use special creams or treatments - I'll use a little bit of everything. It's a mistake to think you are what you put on yourself. I believe that a lot of how you look is to do with how you feel about yourself and your life. Happiness is the greatest beauty secret.
This is what I want in heaven... words to become notes and conversations to be symphonies.
We're living in world, stars and dust Between heaven 'n all that surrounds us We're travellers here, spirits passing through And the love we give, is all that will endure Just like a rose after the rain Something beautiful remains Tears will leave no stains Time will ease the pain For every life that fades Something beautiful remains
I didn't have anybody, really, no foundation in life, so I had to make my own way. Always, from the start. I had to go out in the world and become strong, to discover my mission in life.
I will never give in to old age until I become old. And I'm not old yet!
I was a victim; I don't dwell on it.
People hold on to what they like. They discard what they don't...
What's love got to do with it?
Physical strength in a woman - thats what I am.
Whenever I drink champagne I either laugh or cry...I get so emotional! I love champagne.
I want to breathe in the Spiritual.
I'm not wise, but the beginning of wisdom is there; it's like relaxing into - and an acceptance of - things.
You take your problems to a god, but what you really need is for the god to take you to the inside of you.
I believe in prayer and in strong belief.
Oh what's love got to do, got to do with it What's love but a second hand emotion What's love got to do, got to do with it Who needs a heart When a heart can be broken
I'm pleased with my life, with the journey.
You take everything I've made the last 16 years. I'll take my freedom.
The choice that I made was from my best music, for the songs that I knew that the public liked. Then, when I recorded my new songs I found that my old material had not faded, it was still current, the music was good and the songs were great. I sat in my house and listened, got the chills, and I thought, how great is that? It hasn't dated, it hasn't gone anywhere, and it's great.
