“I'm thankful for what I've got, but I'm cramming all my money into a trust fund because I don't ever want to look around and wonder where all my money went.”
“I want to take acting lessons first. But I'd love to find the right film, a 'Breakfast Club' kind of thing.”
“Music should be fun. If it's not fun, then you're going to get burned out; you're not going to give the best show.”
“I think, probably, being a young artist, there were a lot of things I thought I knew and I wanted to do, and I was like, 'Oh! That's what I want to do.' And then it took me in a different direction with 'I Think We're Alone Now,' and then all of a sudden, I was a pop star.”
“I'm constantly trying to grow as a musician, so when I listen to different things, I'm like, 'That'd be cool to do something like that,' and I try to keep myself open-minded.”
“I'm not as naive as some people think.”
“It was Stevie Nicks who made the biggest impression and really resonated with me. I found her intriguing and liked her voice. Her songs were kind of mysterious, and she was a woman in a rock band.”
“People do think I was a one-hit wonder, that I'm maybe not the kind of singer that I can really be - that impression is there. I have to work really hard to break down those walls.”
“For a lot of people, I will always be the mall girl, and that's OK. That was my start. But I can do so much more than that.”
“For the kid in me that had a rockier edge and wanted to be Stevie Nicks, it's been fulfilling that I've met Dave Navarro and Dave Grohl, these amazing artists that have given encouragement.”
“I grew up on the West Coast during the '80s. But I wasn't a 'valley girl,' since I grew up in Norwalk, which was filled with Latina girls.”
“My best friend was crazy about Culture Club. She had posters everywhere. She joined the fan club. She knew everything about them. No one else sounds like Boy George, and I have great memories of singing along in her bedroom.”
“I guess getting used to sleeping on the tour bus has been the hardest thing - that and settling for whatever food you can get on the road.”
“I'm not a one-hit wonder who got lucky. This really is my life. I was born with this talent, and this is what I meant to be. I'm totally grateful.”
“I'm a live performer, through and through. That's when I really get to shine.”
“I shop all over. I love to shop.”
“Life is short. You've got to live your dreams.”
“It's annoying when people go, 'I didn't know you could actually sing.'”
“I've got to overcome that tendency to hide what I write or throw it away.”
