I have a loyalty that runs in my bloodstream, when I lock into someone or something, you can't get me away from it because I commit that thoroughly. That's in friendship, that's a deal, that's a commitment. Don't give me paper - I can get the same lawyer who drew it up to break it. But if you shake my hand, that's for life.

People hate me because I am a multifaceted, talented, wealthy, internationally famous genius.

When you're doing a different kind of film, you have to bring a different kind of attitude; you have to bring a different kind of concentration.

Most performers are used to the highs and the lows. If you can let a low stop you, that would be a sad commentary.

Commercial television has underestimated the intelligence of the public.

God hadn't made me handsome, but he'd given me something, I always felt: funny bones.

Every man's dream is to be able to sink into the arms of a woman without also falling into her hands.

I say to everybody, love is what wakes you up in the morning, love is what makes you walk, and love is what makes you hope.

I like Aurora, 'Sleeping Beauty,' because she's just sleeping and looking pretty and waiting for boys to come kiss her. Sounds like a good life - lots of naps and cute boys fighting dragons to come kiss you.

I can't stress to you enough how much I can relate to teens being cyberbullied. Something that helps me is looking at old videos of me and my friends from middle school, or videos of my family. I love watching funny videos of my favorite people - it really cheers me up.

Love is a really scary thing, and you never know what's going to happen. It's one of the most beautiful things in life, but it's one of the most terrifying. It's worth the fear because you have more knowledge, experience, you learn from people, and you have memories.

Be happy with being you. Love your flaws. Own your quirks. And know that you are just as perfect as anyone else, exactly as you are.

I always knew that St. Jude was an amazing organization but meeting the kids and seeing how the hospital works first hand was truly beautiful. It doesn't feel like a regular hospital all dreary and sad. It's a colorful, beautiful, comfortable, fun place to live and the energy is wonderful.

I'm so thankful for the Internet because actors and singers and performers now have a way to connect with their fans on a very personal level which I think is quite special.

I just love to shop. If I could, I would shop every single day in every single store and spend all of my money which, you know, I do anyway.

Every day, my mom and I would watch a different Judy Garland VHS. I love how she tells a story when she sings. It was just about her voice and the words she was singing - no strings attached or silly hair or costumes, just a woman singing her heart out. I feel like that doesn't happen that much anymore.

I'm a big perfectionist! I'm trying to channel super-confident women like Alicia Keys, Mariah Carey and Beyonce, because I realized that if you want something, you really have to go for it, just like they do.

If I could, I would not do anything else. I'd just be in the studio for my whole life. I would never go to parties, events, and red carpets. I would rather just be in the studio for the whole time. I don't even care. Nobody has to know what I look like. I just want to make music.

I'm not going to do anything crazy, but I want to do music that I'm passionate about. I'm finally at an age where I can do the music that I grew up loving, which was urban pop, '90s music. I grew up listening to the divas, so I'm very happy to finally do urban pop. I hope that it's received well, and it has been so far.

Nothing burns more calories than dancing in 5-inch heels... try it!

I don't feel much pressure to fit in. I never have. I've always just wanted to do my thing. I have really good friends and good family, and if I don't fit in somewhere else, I fit in at home.

Don't ever doubt yourselves or waste a second of your life. It's too short, and you're too special.

You don't want to be too cool. But you don't want to be too dorky. Still, I find it so much better to see a guy at a club being a dork, and having fun, than trying to be sexy.

I love looking in the mirror and feeling good about what I see.

Education is not just about going to school and getting a degree. It's about widening your knowledge and absorbing the truth about life.

I haven't had any formal education. Through the grace of god, I am gifted in mathematics and the English language.

You develop a sympathy for all human beings when you travel a lot.

I was performing at a New Jersey high school, and I asked a class of 2,000 students, 'How many of you love mathematics?' and only one hand went up. And that was the hand of the maths teacher!

Experience enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

Love doesn't make the world go 'round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.

Anybody who thinks talk is cheap should get some legal advice.

The most efficient labor-saving device is still money.

All women should know how to take care of children. Most of them will have a husband some day.

One advantage of talking to yourself is that you know at least somebody's listening.

Bravery is being the only one who knows you're afraid.

I think it's important to have closure in any relationship that ends - from a romantic relationship to a friendship. You should always have a sense of clarity at the end and know why it began and why it ended. You need that in your life to move cleanly into your next phase.

Where would you be without friends? The people to pick you up when you need lifting? We come from homes far from perfect, so you end up almost parent and sibling to your friends - your own chosen family. There's nothing like a really loyal, dependable, good friend. Nothing.

I was told to avoid the business all together because of the rejection. People would say to me, 'Don't you want to have a normal job and a normal family?' I guess that would be good advice for some people, but I wanted to act.

You know when I feel inwardly beautiful? When I am with my girlfriends and we are having a 'goddess circle'.

I've never sat there and plotted out how I was going to become successful or famous.

One tradition I have with my friends is that when one of us gets married, we have a ton of fragrance oils and pretty bottles at the bachelorette party. Everyone puts a drop or two in a bottle for the bride and makes a wish, and the bride wears our creation on her wedding day.

OK, in all seriousness, I would say I couldn't be in a relationship without equality, generosity, integrity, spirit, kindness and humor. And awesomeness.

You can undo a lot of things. If you're not happy, you can become happy. Happiness is a choice. That's the thing I really feel.

I don't have a religion. I believe in a God. I don't know what it looks like but it's MY god. My own interpretation of the supernatural.

I love that feeling of being in love, the effect of having butterflies when you wake up in the morning. That is special.

My parents' divorce left me with a lot of sadness and pain and acting, and especially humour, was my way of dealing with all that.

It's sad, something coming to an end. It cracks you open, in a way - cracks you open to feeling. When you try to avoid the pain, it creates greater pain.

It's sad, something coming to an end. It cracks you open, in a way - cracks you open to feeling.

The fun stuff comes when someone is not so strict on sticking to the script. You're allowed the spontaneity, and great moments can happen.

I want to see friends more and travel more.
