"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

"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?"

"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."

"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."

"Show me some hope Show me some light Cause I got nothing left in me tonight If I don’t go If I say no Is it the end?"

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"If there's no redemption I'll see you in hell."

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

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

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

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

"Now I'm still trusted every day People try to mess with Anastacia Gotta nothing in common cause I handle mine."

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

"I paid my dues."

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

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

"You can say what you want about me Try to do what you want to me But you can not stop me."

"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."

"If every soul should lose its way If every face should lose its name If no one tries to end this game Or find a way to ease the pain Who's gonna stop the rain?"

"Freedom lies beneath reality."

"There is no rose without a thorn No rain without the storm There is no laughter without tears No wisdom without years In a world gone crazy Torn between the roads that we must choose Win or lose."

"Each day another boy and girl sets foot into this world One reaches out to touch the sky One never learns to fly."

"How many rivers must we cross before we learn that the flood is rising high And the bridges all have burned Each time another dream is washed into the sea It's another piece of you It's another piece of me."

"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."

"I felt very awkward as a teenager. I wanted blue eyes, I wanted to be taller, I wore glasses, I got my chest early and I was very embarrassed about it. I just wasn’t the kind of girl I thought guys would want to date. Though in some ways I was okay with that because I didn’t want to date any boys anyway. I just wanted to be friends with boys, boys were cool with me. Until we were doing a show in school where we all had to wear these catsuits for a dance routine. I walked into the room, all boobs and bum, and the boys never looked at me the same way again. I was mortified. That’s probably when I started wearing my stepfather’s shirts, big and baggy, to cover up. I just wanted to stay a kid."

"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."

"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."

"(About Elton John) He's my fairy Godfather; literally that's what I call him. [...] Hopefully while I'm in town there'll be a moment I can share my new boobs with him. I have to show him, because he gets to see. Not that he's really caring, but I flashed him my other ones so he has to see these ones too. He has to see the new set."

"Early detection has saved my life twice. I will continue to battle and lend my voice in any way I can."

"Sometimes I wonder if my purpose on this earth is to be a role model. Look at my challenges as a gift, and my voice as tool."

"I think there will always be challenges for women and men. There are always going to be male chauvenists but it's just a matter of women continuing to stand up for their rights and prove their worth. The world would end if women didn't start families, carry children, but that is no reason for them not to work, have careers, exist as a person rather than just a mother."
