A woman is the full circle. Within her is the power to create, nurture and transform.

Don’t be afraid to speak up for yourself. Keep fighting for your dreams!

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

The power you have is to be the best version of yourself you can be, so you can create a better world.

If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun.

It took me quite a long time to develop a voice, and now that I have it, I am not going to be silent.

Forget about the fast lane. If you really want to fly, just harness your power to your passion.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

It’s possible to climb to the top without stomping on other people.

Courage is like a muscle. We strengthen it by use.

Power is not given to you. You have to take it.

We can do no great things, only small things with great love.

If you want something said, ask a man; if you want something done, ask a woman.

Do you want to meet the love of your life? Look in the mirror.

You have what it takes to be a victorious, independent, fearless woman.

The question isn’t who’s going to let me; it’s who is going to stop me.

I don’t care what you think about me. I don’t think about you at all.

Success is getting what you want, happiness is wanting what you get.

Power to me is the ability to make a change in a positive way.

The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.

Whatever I have done so far has led me to 'Kaabil.' It is a big opportunity for me to establish myself more commercially. It is a huge platform.

Nobody really thought I was going to make it, because I was a musician. I really wasn't a singer.

I suspect that a substantial fraction of human problems in the world today, not just cults, result from the mismatch between the current environment and the environment in which we evolved.

My life was made easy - I lived in a village, and by writing for some newspapers and magazines, had enough to live on. I was happy to be there and write.
