• "“I like to get out of the hot tub and roll in the snow. It’s a tradition for us to have Santa Claus-looking bikinis, jump in the hot tub, and roll in the fresh snow."




• "I'm not one of those people that goes into details of my personal life on national TV to get attention. Some things are better left unsaid."




• "If critics have problems with my personal life, it's their problem. Anybody with half a brain would realize that it's the charts that count."




• "Butterflies are always following me, everywhere I go."




• "A lot of people are singing about how screwed up the world is, and I don't think that everybody wants to hear about that all the time."




• "I'd rather be on stage with a pig - a duet with Jennifer Lopez and me just ain't going to happen."




• "My mother is Irish, my father is black and Venezuelan, and me -- I'm tan, I guess."




• "This is for all of you out there tonight, reaching for a dream - don't ever give up! Never ever listen to anyone, when they try to discourage you, because they do that, believe me!"




• "If they want to say 'comeback,' that's cool, [but] I've been making music my whole life. ... I will make music forever."




• "I always felt like the rug could be pulled out from under me at anytime. And coming from a racially mixed background, I always felt like I didn't really fit in anywhere."



• "I prayed very hard for this to happen and it happened. I don't even think about what I've achieved, I haven't focused on it and I wish I had, because I really want to enjoy it, and I don't know if I am enjoying it, because I am going through my life like a bulldozer. I still haven't marveled at it."




• "I don't want to be a skinny twig."
