You can't be everybody's friend, you can't save the world, I learned this word: self-preservation. Once you do that, you can be friends with people, but how would you be a friend to anybody if you're not a friend to yourself.
What's in front of you is a whole world of experiences beyond your imagination. Put yourself, and your growth and development, first.
If I'm not in the mood to deal with you, then I just don't deal with you. I look at it like, me not dealing with you could save me a lot of trouble - me forcing myself to deal with you could bring me a lot of trouble. So I just play it by ear.
You can't please everybody. You'd be crazy if you're trying to. So take some time out to do some things for yourself.
I've learned that you have to make careful choices because everything has an impact. I've also learned that you can't please everyone in life, so please yourself and figure out what really matters.
Sometimes you have to be selfish to get what you want and move forward in life.
I've had enough of worrying about everybody else. Now I'm taking care of me.
And I'm not so in love with making people mad that I want to live my life around it.
I realized I was trained my whole life to be an accommodating person, to make sure that everybody is comfortable before I'm comfortable. After giving so much of myself to strangers, I learned to care for myself a little more, especially on tour.
You can't just sit there and put everyone's lives ahead of yours and think that counts as love. You just can't. You have to do things.
My love life is not a priority.
I've always been very aware of balance and, even before I had a child, my life always takes priority to my work.
I used to fall into the trap of thinking that taking care of my husband and kids was more important than taking care of myself. Now I have a new attitude: You know when you're on an airplane and the manual tells you to put on your oxygen mask first and then help the person next to you? I feel the same way about my health.
There is only room in the lifeboat of your life for one, and you always choose yourself, and turn your parents into whatever it takes to keep you afloat.
You will say good-bye for all the right reasons. You're tired of living in wait for his apocalypse. You have your own fight on your hands, and though it's no bigger or more noble than his, it will require all of your energy. It's you who has to hold on to earth. You have to tighten your grip -- which means letting go of him.
The special interest is the other buy’s interest and general interest is your own.
There's no time for boys in my life right now.
When Trump says America first, it doesn't mean cheering for America only. It means if you want to care for your neighbors, you have to make sure that you are yourself, first, healthy.
Better friends than lovers. Sugar can't you see? You need you and I really need me.
