I prayed to God for peace and love, I’m looking at you as a blessing. You told me life been looking up so take that past shit as a lesson.

The truth of the matter is, trap has taken over so much that even our New York rappers are doing nothing but trap songs, because they feel that that’s the way to make it.

When people apologize to me sincerely, I accept it. It’s really never too late to right your wrongs.

This is what happens when you release a great body of work after they spent millions to ruin you.

No matter how tired I am, whenever I see you guys, my energy goes to a billion.

I love being able to say, I’m not American, I’m Trini. I think it gives me so much more depth.

I sort of identify with him (Cedric) in a couple of ways. Generally, I am quite pleasant. I think he is too, and I think that is one of the basic similarities. Let’s see, I’ve got blond hair, I am relatively sporty. But, I think he is a better person than me.

Music is for every single person that walks the planet.

I don’t want to be somebody else.

The problem is, I don’t think I’ve got too much to offer at the minute. I’m busy working on myself. This sounds like real therapy talk, but it’s like, you’ve got to be happy with yourself before you can go out and get yourself a girl.

Maybe the best is yet to come, but I’ve already had the best.

All I can say is that it’s amazing what you can accomplish when you’re young and foolish.

There’s a lot of contemporary actresses I admire, but there’s practically no one who’s made a color movie whose career I’d want … I don’t feel very modern at all.

I don’t see Johnny Depp as attractive!

I have to turn down roles I really want to do because I can’t travel. But that’s okay, because you make peace with things in your mind.

[on her role in “Star Wars: Episode II”] That was easy, I just stood by Natalie Portman looking very serious.

For me, singing sad songs often has a way of healing a situation. It gets the hurt out in the open into the light, out of the darkness.

Being noticed can be a burden. Jesus got himself crucified because he got himself noticed. So I disappear a lot.
