I just want women to come and learn from each other.

I hit a brick wall one day, and I spent a lot of time by myself learning about me and who I am and what I want and don't want.

We just dated the same guy, and that's kind of what it is. It's always a competition thing, and they compare us, but she is Rihanna. She's a pop star, and she's beautiful - she makes great music - and I'm just me, and I'm growing and working into myself. You can't really compare us. We're two completely different girls.

Even going back to the haters, it's messed up what they say, but that's made me stronger, and it's built me into who I am today, and I am completely fine with that.

When I make a book, I make it for the child and not for the parent - no jokes in it for the parents!

At 18, I finally came into a relationship with a record label. My family got back on its feet. I was happy.

Rock 'n' roll accepted me and paid me, even though I loved the big bands... I went that way because I wanted a home of my own. I had a family. I had to raise them. Let's don't leave out the economics. No way.

The mother cannot expect her daughter to understand the mysteries of housekeeping without education. She should instruct them patiently, lovingly, and make the work as agreeable as she can by her cheerful countenance and encouraging words of approval. If they fail once, twice, or thrice, censure not.
