• "The media appeals to the senses, the music appeals to the heart and soul."
• "If you consider people's everyday lives to be rubbish, then there's something wrong with you!"
• "You know, I really never doubted myself for a minute, and I think that's a key to success in general."
• "Don't feel you have to justify yourself to anyone; do what you need to do to feel good and you will be of better service to others."

From an interview with ASCAP:

"That's what I can't stand about collaborating sometimes. You can get in a room with somebody and feel like jumping out of the window because people will say stuff like 'Do you think that if we use the word 'but' it insinuates something different than the word 'if'? I believe that if it sounds like a sentence a human being would form and it gets the point across, chances are it's what we should use. Songwriters in Nashville understand that."

From an interview with CNN (date unknown):

(about the first single and video from "Body Mind Soul")

• "The song is called 'Losin' Myself,' and the idea of the song and the video is how you can totally get wrapped ... so wrapped up in someone else in a relationship that you lose sight of yourself. "
• "The video goes with the song, and a song like 'Losin' Myself' is not not in the hat, the T-shirt, and jeans. It just wouldn't work!!"

(about being asked to pose nude in "Playboy")

• "It's very flattering, since I've been working out and stuff, but I think it's much sexier when you don't show everyone everything. I've always been a believer in that. "

(about collaborating with Sturken & Rogers)

• "We were, like, playing Tetris, lying on the couch, and writing songs. It was so casual and relaxed and fun."

(about her goals in the future: combining pop music career with films and Broadway)

• "I've got tons of goals and I'm just trying to kind of adjust to them one at a time and slowly but surely a lot of those goals I've set for myself have happened, but I only feel like I've climbed the first step on a very long ladder. "
