LeAnn Rimes

I needed to become something besides the star everybody had built me up to be.

Eddie and I are overwhelmed by the amount of lovely well wishes. We are blessed and.... I'm Mrs. Cibrian!

I've been in therapy my whole life.

Online bullying has to stop.

You can't break what's broken already.

Janis Joplin is definitely one of my biggest influences. She taught me how to feel music, and I don't think there's anyone like her that could bring such pain and emotion to a song.

People are so quick to judge and make decisions for themselves about situations they know absolutely nothing about.

It's tough to break into this business - now more so than ever.

I have a great time touring.

The world when I was 13 wasn't truly driven by tabloid magazines and social media and reality shows. I was able to have a little more of a private life.

I think singing traditional country is wonderful, because I'm bringing it to my generation and to the younger kids.

Reba McEntire came through town when I lived in Texas. She had this amazing theatrical show with, like, 13 different wardrobe changes. I was eight and I was like, Wow, I wanna do that!

Everyone gets criticized.

I don't want to wake up and not truly be enjoying my life and these amazing things around me.

Twitter can be great and very bad.

I don't like the word 'regret.'

I am constantly working out-circuit training, jumping rope, and stair-stepping, and sticking to 1200 calories a day. It can't be something that you're doing to lose weight, and then once you do, you're done. I do it every day of my life.

I had some wonderful times in my 20s, but your 20s are hard.

I was told when I was little I couldn't have an opinion because you want everyone to buy your record and like you.

I'm living life as best I can - but I'm not exempt from failure and making bad choices.

Sometimes when I look in the mirror, I see a child, then I look and see a woman who should be turning 60.

What no woman or man needs is anyone telling them they are too fat or too skinny. That just adds to the many stereotypes out there about a persons weight.

I don't believe it's productive to go around and badmouth anyone that I work with, because at the end of the day, we all have to sit in front of each other and agree or disagree.

The funny thing is the songs that people think are about me probably aren't. And the songs that are probably are the ones they wouldn't think... so that's where it kind of is funny.

I never, ever in my heart want to hurt anyone.

What people don't understand is that it wasn't about Dean or Eddie, it was about whether or not I was in the right place.

I'm not gonna apologize for who I am and what I've gone through.

Like mercy from heaven's gate, there's a freedom in your arms that carries me through. I need you.
