I am very comfortable in the throne I’ve been building for the past 15 years.” — Beyonce

“together we make magic.”  Jennifer Lopez

“It’s not that I didn’t love myself before. Sometimes we don’t realize that we
are compromising ourselves. To understand that a person is not good for you, or
that that person is not treating you in the right way, or that he is not doing
the right thing for himself—if I stay, then I am not doing the right thing for me. I love myself enough to walk away from that now.” Jennifer Lopez

“Sometimes it doesn’t work—and that’s sad. But I remain an eternal optimist
about love. I believe in love It’s still my biggest dream. I am positive—determined to move forward with my life, bring up my babies, and do the best job I can as a mother, entertainer, and person. I now look forward to new
challenges. I feel strong.” Jennifer Lopez

“It’s  like all that hard work and now something  permanent is going to be there, I made my mark.” Jennifer Lopez

“I   think I’m a  really great performer, I think I’m a really great  actress. I feel confident in those things—that’s a better way to   say  it.  I’m not as gifted a vocalist as some of the girls that are  out  there,   but I know I communicate.” Jennifer Lopez

“I like to keep good people around me, people that aren’t always ‘yes’ people, people that sometimes it’s difficult to be around because they’re not ‘yes’ people,” Katy Perry

“My husband is definitely one of those, he keeps me accountable and, you know, he’s not a fan, even though he is a fan…he supports me and loves me but he doesn’t bullshit me, which is really important.” Katy Perry

“In the very beginning there was a lot of, ‘Oh let’s go celebrate,’ always champagne and parties and, that was something that was taking energy from me that I needed to give to my career in that moment,” Katy Perry

“Maybe my rebellious side was, ‘Oh you weren’t allowed to watch ‘Smurfs’ growing up, so you’ve got the opportunity to be a Smurf in the feature film, go for it.’ So I did that,” Katy Perry

“I have to keep that in mind when I actually decide to jump over to that world (films) but I think, when I do, I hope to do stuff that is very smart. With everything I do, there is a lot of thought that goes into it and a lot of hard work,” Katy Perry

“I’ve created this ‘candy girl’ who is so happy-go-lucky all the time. I wish she had just like a day where she was a little bit more flat-lined,” Katy Perry

“For me, I think that the sexiness and sassiness is a part of my cards, but I think over time people have started to see, ‘Oh there’s more to that, it’s quite interesting and very layered and dimensional and, yeah, ‘she’s not hard on the eyes’,” Katy Perry

They tried to make me go to rehab, I said, “No, no, no”Yes, I’ve been black
but when I come back you’ll know, know, know
I ain’t got the time and if my daddy thinks I’m fineHe’s tried to make me go to rehab, I won’t go, go,
go

I’d rather be at home with Ray
I ain’t got seventeen days
‘Cause there’s nothing, there’s nothing you can teach meThat I can’t learn from Mr.
Hathaway

I didn’t get a lot in class
But I know we don’t come in a
shot glass

They tried to make me go to rehab, I said, “No, no,
no”
Yes, I’ve been black but when I come back you’ll know know know I ain’t got the time and if my daddy thinks I’m fine
He’s tried to make me go
to rehab, I won’t go, go, go

The man said, “Why do you think you
here?”
I said, “I got no idea”
I’m gonna, I’m gonna lose my baby
So I always keep a
bottle near

He said, “I just think you’re depressed
Kiss me, yeah baby and go rest”

They tried to make me go to rehab, I said, “No, no,
no”
Yes, I’ve been black but when I come back you’ll know, know, know

I don’t ever wanna drink again
I just, ooh, I just need a
friend I’m not gonna spend ten weeks
Have everyone think I’m on the
mend

And it’s not just my pride
It’s just ’til these tears have
dried

They tried to make me go to rehab, I said, “No, no, no”
Yes,
I’ve been black but when I come back you’ll know, know, know
I ain’t got the
time and if my daddy thinks I’m fine
He’s tried to make me go to rehab, I
won’t go, go, go

Russell Brand Letter …Amy Winehouse

Amy Winehouse, Entertainment, Famous Quotes, Life Quotes, Music, News, Quotes, Saying

When you love someone who suffers from the disease of addiction you await the phone call. There will be a phone call. The sincere hope is that the call will be from the addict themselves, telling you they’ve had enough, that they’re ready to stop, ready to try something new. Of course though, you fear the other call, the sad nocturnal chime from a friend or relative telling you it’s too late, she’s gone. Russell Brand

“I realize my daughter could be dead within the year,” said her mother, Janis. “We’re watching her kill herself, slowly. I’ve already come to terms with her dead.

It’s like watching a car crash — this person throwing all these gifts away.”
