"I wear glasses because I need them; I don't wear them to be the fashion victim, I have to have them because I have a stigma in one eye and I'm blind in another. But I make it fun, I make it acceptable to fit in society; I've always worn crazy, goofy glasses, it's just what I do. This is who I am. Love me or leave me."

"I don't fear death. But I don't like being dangled out there like a piece of meat on a fishing rod to it either. If I'm going to die, take me out now. Don't let me suffer. That's not exactly the way I wanted to go. I don't want to be in limbo, I don't want to know that I might die. The mights don't work with me. I'm too literal."

"I'm a singer who touches millions of people and my words and my knowledge of what I'm learning from cancer can help millions. And if I can help millions, even if I help one person, that's one person more than none."

"You're the soldier girl who tells the other troops who haven't fought the battle what it's like so they can fight it better."

"She has a lot of what I call star quality and that's something truly hard to describe in words. At top of all that she is just an amazing singer and an amazing performer. She is not just a singer that can only do one style."

"I think Anastacia is gonna be a big star, I really do. And she has that distinct voice where, you know, one time you hear it you never forget it."

"She rocks, I have to tell you, she rocks."

"She's probably one of the strongest women I've ever met. Through my illness she was there for me as I hope I have been to her through her treatment. She's a really great girl."

"Some performers would stand in a spot light like Edith Piaf, darkness around and a spot light and she would sing... and she would sing very vulnerable. Than you realize "I don't know how this woman has more powerful". And some performers, well, leave out of the box and grab the audience by the throw, you know. What's amazing about Anastacia is she can kind do both."

"I'm alright with living on the edge Everything I ever got I got the hard way Wouldn't think of wishing on the shooting star I'm the underdog."

"I thought she was black when I heard her singing. [...] This is so like Tina Turner. Who is this woman sings? And even when I found out she was call Anastacia, I didn't even think she was white. She had the most amazing voice, just the most soulful voice I've heard in so long [...] She is a great live performer [...] I'm Outta Love is one of the greatest dance records of all time."

"All that I've gone through Is what brought me here So I can't regret a single thing, yeah I've had my heart broken I know what it takes to let go and move on I see myself coming And I've never been this strong."

"Anastacia is someone the world will understand."

"Is this the light at the end of the tunnel Is this the end, the end of all my trouble Is this the light at the end of the tunnel Or just the light of another oncoming train."

"The first time I heard Anastacia's voice I was kind of blown by, because she is kind a little and her voice was so big so powerful, so much power coming from her. It was amazing."

"There's a new sun rising From a lost horizon And the heat that it brings Melts away all the things That has made me stand still Been a long time coming So tired of running I believe there's a reason I came through the season again It's my resurrection."

"I'm dark dark white girl."

"No matter if I'm laughing or crying It ain't gonna stop me from trying The truth is what I have to uncover In this only life."

"I can see the light of day Even through the rainy haze."

"The truest words are never wasted I'm letting go just show me how I'm getting closer I can taste it This time, our time."

"Got a message from a wise man No one gets to choose But it's still a secret No one tells us how easily we bruise And while we try to understend Life is making other plans."

"I'm pop-corn I'm a hell storm Yeah, I'm in the hands of faith I’m so bad words Now what you heard?"

"Wings of an angel Replace my beautiful scars Well hidden in the dark Time seems to stand still The world is falling apart So heavy on my heart."

"And I've been to darker places That I never thought I'd go And I've learned lots of lessons I can say I'm finally home."

"I'd rather be blind if I have to watch us fade."

"I barely recognize myself Sometimes I feel like someone else Don't always have to be perfect And if I stumble on the way I don't know I'm gonna be okay It's alright to get myself dirty."

"Now I know what love is worth In a broken world But I can't get past the hurt Till I give up on these Stupid little things."

"They say that time heals the pain Till only love remains."

"Somewhere there's an angel saying stay I need someone to tell me, I'm too hard to break I'm not ready to go just yet."

"Even with broken wings Even with shattered dreams I'm still gonna try I'm still gonna fly Even with broken wings I can do anything I found a strength I never knew I had in me With these broken wings."

"I'm just as fragile and broken as anyone else at times. We all have to get through our stuff as best we can. Some of us have strong armour, some of us don't. Sometimes my armour has been very strong and sometimes it's been very fragile."

"The love that lonely people crave Follows them into their grave Oh…we should never leave them lonely."

"The faded photographs The frames of broken glass The shattered memories Time will soon erase all these souvenirs Falls from a thousand tears But when I wake up you are never there."

"Freedom lies beneath reality."

"You can tear me apart You can rip me to pieces Try breaking me down But I'll never be beated You can say that you won But I'll never believe it cos I can't be defeated."

"Wanna live in a place where the truth still finds a way to rise and advise."

"The pages I've turned are the lessons I've learned."

"Silence is a deadly poison when you have no words."

"Sometimes the things you want are hard to take Sometimes the ones you love are risks that you don't make."

"Time keeps running away no matter what's left behind, it keeps on moving Tomorrow is not today and all of your yesterdays are only a matter of time."

"I'm sick and tired of always being sick and tired."

"Cradle the weight of your life You can survive what lies before you."

"I've had my share of pleasure and I've tasted pain I never thought that I would touch an angel's wing There's a journey in my eyes It's getting hard for me to hide Like the ocean at the sunrise."

"Anytime or only for a while Don't worry Make a wish I'll be there to see your smile."

"Who wants a love without anger and rage? I Do Who wants a world where a kid can be safe? I Do Who wants to pray for the end of the pain? For the calm at the end of the day? Where there's not always more of the same? I Do."

"Pieces of a dream unfolding what happened to the fairy tale Words of love are never spoken Things in life aren't always fair I'll protect you and I'll guide you and I'll give you all the love that is mine Just know in time You'll be fine."

"Nothing's fair when we lose without a moment to say goodbye."

"Yo trippin' There ain't nothing wrong with the way I sing my song Yo trippin' Why you feel that to be cruel is to be real."

"I'm a freak of nature Freaky, geeky, lucky and weekly, sassefras, so, honey drink me finger licking."
