I want to still be singing at 70 years old. I want to be open to the dreams I haven't even dreamed up. 
Have a little faith. Don't give up.
I like to play dress up, I'm in love with fashion.
Sometimes you have to lose to win again.
When I'm out on the stage, it gives me this rush and anything that's on my mind and everything I'm going through is forgotten about. 
I seemed so different from other kids; I grew up in church and felt a connection with God, and a lot of kids my age really didn't understand that. 
I always say you've only got one life to live, and you're not promised a tomorrow. So, you might as well just have a good time with it. 
I wanted people to see me, to change their minds about me. 
You've got to make it a good example for those kids regardless of how much you mess up. 
It's always good when you can bring two artists together who are totally different. 
I've never been in a competition before, and I said I'm going to go. I think - I just love to sing. 
My lips are big, but my talent is bigger. 
I knew exactly what I was doing. You can't accidentally take a whole bottle of pills. 
I feel like a good mom. I'm a strong woman now ... Don't look down on me. Pray for me because I'm trying.
