Music is all I know.
I’ve always wanted to be a mom at 23, 24ish, ever since I was a little girl. I’m right on schedule.
I wrote my own verses. Anything I did, I wrote myself.
America’s Got Talent’ has really opened a lot of doors for me. I want to do a lot more TV.
I can’t believe Tina Turner actually was on the same stage. I can’t believe I set foot on the same stage, and it’s going to be an album, people are going to buy it, and it’s going to be a video.
I wanna sing about something that’s sexy and edgy.
I’ve seen the photos of me and Flo Rida. It doesn’t matter how we met. We met. I don’t want to say that we’re a couple. I can definitely say that he’s somebody in my life, and I’m definitely interested but I’m not serious with anybody.
Parisian men make love all day and have no time to work; American men work all day and have no time for love.
I was singing a lot of waltzes. And I was with Jerry Kennedy, my producer, and he was playing me some songs, and he said, hey, I want to play you this song that I’m going to get Jackie Ward to record.
Some of the best times in my life happened under the influence of drugs… I’d still be doing it if I could make good judgement calls. I’d still be doing it if I didn’t blow up to the size of an aircraft hangar, because it was a great time.
I remember when we were talking to one of the executives at the BBC. And he said, ‘Now hold on, this man (David Brent) is so incompetent why wouldn’t he be fired?’ and I said ‘Go and take a look around this building. Just go and knock on a few doors.’
People want to try and move you into a place where you can be easily identifiable by every woman in America – to be this very likable woman in a romantic comedy. And it’s really hard for me. I just don’t see myself as the girl that everybody likes. I never have been and I don’t know how to be that person.
Apparently, I think it’s Columbia Records has Betty Wand’s name on all of the stuff that I did, too, and that’s made me very, very unhappy.
I’m not perfect! I’m human. I make mistakes. But I try to be as conscious as I can about things I should be. If I’m going to do something commercial and mainstream and made for the masses, I just believe you can make those kinds of films with quality – and good ideas and good intentions. There’s a lot of negativity out there.
I like listening to good music – and I can’t stop playing my album.
People find out I’m an actress and I see that ‘whore’ look flicker across their eyes.
Well I always wanted to be Dolly Parton when I was a little girl. I was obsessed with her.
Lipgloss is my calling!
If you really want something, you’ve gotta just do it and not wait for other people to hand it to you.
For me an album cover is like a movie poster. I wanted an image that was pure femininity, which could please a sculptor. I went through a lot of suffering. But managing to stand up nude on stage carrying a guitar is a victory.
You can tell an honest artist from one who’s just given all their songs.
My ability to turn good news into anxiety is rivaled only by my ability to turn anxiety into chin acne.
