And I always had people telling me, ‘You can’t do this. You’re from Long Island, how do you expect to be on Broadway? You can’t go into the city and be on Broadway.’ What do...

I think that celebrities should never underestimate their power. I mean just to draw attention, because then people get involved on a personal level.

I did, like, a couple of sexier videos, because all of a sudden I went, ‘Wow, I have a body. I have this side of me that I haven’t shown yet.’ And I started kind...

The ideal situation would be to bypass all of the drama and mayhem and just get the music right to the people. I’m confident that we’ll eventually figure it out.

I’m kind of a quirky dresser usually. Like today, I’m actually pretty put together, but I dress kind of off sometimes, but that’s just part of my personality.

There are those people out there that live to destroy communities. Im just afraid that one happened to get elected here,

Once I started writing songs, though, there was this feeling of, ‘Oh my God, what a cool thing to be able to say to someone, ‘You’ve never heard this before. And I know you haven’t,...

We improved our serving percentage from Tuesday’s match.

I think any parent that makes their kid sit at a piano against their will and practice, they’re going to have a kid that’s not going to want to play the piano.

It looks like he’s really pushing for the things we were hoping for. We want to work with him to make the bus system more user-friendly.

This is the time it all starts, I’m telling you. Like, 16, I mean, forget it. You could just get beat up, you could go through these grueling schedules.

I can’t even imagine seeing someone else. I’ve never had any problems at all. He’s been wonderful.

What I love about how my career has gone up to this point is that I’ve always, always put my head down on my pillow at night, and I’ve been able to say that I’ve...

The cool thing is that people have been so responsive to my work on stage that I’ve actually had to turn things down. I have so many things I want to do, from flying an...

I think everybody changes from 16 to 24. Actually, I’m right on the verge of 25.

The music now is about my personal life, where I’m at as a 24-year-old young woman, so it’s very honest and it’s very pure and it’s very emotional.

I’m glad I started so young, because you are really able to endure so much at that age.

I guess it’s nice to know I have that much depth on our bench. We served very aggressively and our defense was pretty strong. We let few balls drop and were pretty good at keeping...

I tend to get into something, like two feet and jump in, you know, she’s always kind of going, ‘Come on, Deb, it’s your career, slow down, take it easy’.”

I’ve been sponsoring kids in Manila, for like, 6 years. And I got to meet them. Now, how many people write away in the mail… you don’t even know if these organizations are for real....

This business is about working. It’s really not about glamour. For me, the most glamorous thing about it is to b able to get on stage and perform my music for people. That’s the privilege....

At the time, I thought it was a piece of cake. Very often, I was playing three clubs a night, sleeping two hours a night, and dashing off to high school. It all seemed very...

What we found is that there is a whole network of people who are college age and older, who are fairly well educated and are looking for an alternative to what’s on pop radio. They...

For as long as I can remember, I walked, talked, and sang, and entertained. I mean, this picture that I look at, and, you know, I don’t even remember it, obviously, because I was only...

One of my favorite songs from the album is a song called ‘For Better or Worse,’ and it’s basically about unconditional love, which is, I’d say, an ongoing theme in my personal life.
