I think my mum has the foulest mouth of anyone I've ever met.

I was dating this guy and we would spend all day text messaging each other. And he thought that he could tell that he liked me more because he actually spelt the word 'YOU' and I just put the letter 'U'.

I hate the word gothic but I would like to try doing something like that. A gothic sound, not rock, but gothic. There's a difference.

It's funny that all these goths paint their faces with such white make-up and that is the actual colour of my skin, I am that pale!

They are the only people in the world who I can truly trust and rely on. Touring gets really lonely. I guess I have friends around me but when you're paying them can they ever really be true friends?

Oh that's very English, that's probably why. They just go "LOL" in America.

I just think you would never kill and cut up a human to wear so why do it to animals? I just think it's horrible, I would never wear fur, although I guess if it was a really vintage piece you might just get away with it.

I've done a lot of growing up since the age of 16 and I really wanted that to be reflected in my music.

I think my mum has the foulest mouth of anyone I've ever met.

Even now I don't consider myself skinny, but I have put a lot of hard work into my body over the years, and in the process, I've really learned to love myself.

I call myself a FFP: former fat person, and when you're an FFP, you will always see in yourself what people used to bully you for.

I can't lie, I did a lot of really, really stupid things, and it was because it was my way of crying for help.

I didn't know that anything was wrong with me until the media got involved in my life.

I feel good in my own skin because I've accepted the fact that I'm me. That's what's so great about being alive and being on this planet: Everybody's different.

I guess I have friends around me but when you're paying them can they ever really be true friends?

I never thought in a million years I'd be that healthy girl who wakes up every morning to exercise. After being called 'cherubic and chubby,' I'm rocking a bikini!

I say find one true friend to help you get through the tough times.

I was called fat and ugly in the press almost my entire life. I understand that being judged by others comes with the territory, but it broke my heart and ruined my self-esteem.

I've completely changed the way I eat since doing 'Dancing With The Stars.'

It's so easy for me to fall back into depression. I think it comes with having money. I don't have to work. I could be sitting bored and depressed at home with a bag on my head.

My girlfriends and I just started doing plyometrics. It's a killer - it hurts so much. But when you walk out of there, you're like, 'I can't believe I just did that and my body looks this good.'

Pilates is amazing, my posture is so much better and I'm even starting to get muscles on my tummy - it's incredible.

Sometimes it's other people's voices you have to shut out.

They say you should never eat before you go to bed, but I've found just having a tiny little snack - like half an apple or something like that - before you go to sleep really helps.

To fill the shoes of rock 'n' roll, because of the family I have, is a really hard thing.

To wake up in England and have the newspaper on your front door with a headline that says, 'Ozzie's Beach Whale of a Daughter,' doesn't really do much for your self-esteem at all.

Touring gets really lonely.

Women are so unforgiving of themselves. We don't recognize our own beauty because we're too busy comparing ourselves to other people.

Remarkable work often comes from making choices when everyone else feels as though there is no choice.

I don't think the area of Jerusalem should be part of a Jewish state; it belongs to all people, to Christians and Muslims and the Jewish people.

But what sets Europe apart is we insist on a social model that consists of solidarity, equal opportunity and a certain amount of redistribution.

In my business, you should be very strong in mind. You have to be sure about yourself and about your work and your career, and you have to be strong inside because so many people come around and try to say bad things about you.

I try to sleep as much as I can. I drink a lot of water. I practice consistently and just try to be ready for the gig.

I think we're glazing eyes all across America.

I have an ideas book at home with far more ideas than I will ever be able to write.

I'm not somebody who runs from the press. I'm not coy. I appreciate the press I've had over the years.

Theater and poetry were what helped people stay alive and want to go on living.

In my early teens, I knew I wanted to do television production. I loved cameras, editing and producing, anything that had to do with television production. My friend had a production studio across town, and we'd go over there at night and shoot and edit. I produced my father's televised service for 17 years.

Feathers are light; but when they come together, they become heavy!

I'm one of these people who couldn't imagine the future. The future never occurred to me. I just loved life every day.

In the beginning, I found it hard to give my songs away, but now I've realised it's exciting, and it's only making me better.

It is almost impossible to watch a sunset and not dream.

'Sex and The City' was made to correct the myth that if you were single at a certain age, you were a leper. Its four characters are heroes to a lot of women; they run around New York, or Gotham - but they have fancy shoes instead of capes.

Thoughtful financial planning can easily take a backseat to daily life.

One of the people that wrote a forward to my book is Gerry Spence, whom I admire. Gerry is a friend of mine, and Gerry's perhaps the leading criminal defense attorney in the country.

I don't care what anybody says. Stick to the spirit of the play and you're doing it right. It's about embracing the spirit of the text instead of noodling some idea about things.

Coaching isnt an addition to a leaders job its an integral part of it.

I usually start with a lyric and see where that takes me.

A far greater factor than abolishing poverty is the deterrent effect of swift and certain consequences: swift arrest, prompt trial, certain penalty and - at some point - finality of judgment.
