I needed to explore my talent and versatility and see if I had another side to me, another sound.

I take conscious breaks for myself ’cause I like to rejuvenate and get my creative juices flowing. I also like to take my time with my creativity; I think it’s important.

One day it just hit me. This is it. You are not in love. So either stay in it because you have a child or be brave and find the man of your dreams and marry him for real.

I think the Grammy is like the award, you know.

I went through a struggle, and I really needed to get myself together and connect with my purpose, which is music.

I think it’s really finding that belief in yourself, where you just have it no matter what’s going on, no matter what anyone else says. I think that’s the challenge, is to really have that belief in yourself.

The search for happiness is one of the chief sources of unhappiness.

Whether happiness may come or not, one should try and prepare one’s self to do without it.

Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.

A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes.

To fill the hour – that is happiness.

If you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours.

What can be added to the happiness of a man who is in health, out of debt, and has a clear conscience?

The unhappiest man on earth is the one who has nothing to do.

Happiness and unhappiness are in the heart and spirit of each one of us: If you feel unhappy, then place yourself above that and act so that your happiness does not get to be dependent on anything.

The intense happiness of our union is derived in a high degree from the perfect freedom with which we each follow and declare our own impressions.

Happy is harder than money. Anyone who thinks money will make them happy, doesn’t have money.

The secret of happiness? Live life in the slow lane.

Happiness cannot be travel to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.

The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one.

The smallest seed of faith is better than the largest fruit of happiness.
