When Will We Ever Learn, There's Nowhere

Forget About Surviving 40 Years In The Music Business. Just Surviving 27 Years Of Nicole Richie Has Been A Struggle-and-a-half, I Want To Tell You. I Stand Here As A Survivor, I Want You To Know, For All The Parents Out There.

Believe Me, I Love Commerce As Much As The Rest Of The Readers Of 'businessweek.' But In Art, You Have To Be True To Yourself And Your Musical Vision. People Have Known Me Well For A Long Time, So If I Was Chasing A Trend And Doing Something That Wasn't Authentic To Who I Am, They Would Know It In Just A Few Seconds.

I Don't Think I'm Going To Be Priest Material.

I'm A Songwriter, And People Will Tell You The Greatest Stories About Their Lives, Whether You Want To Hear It Or Not.

I Think The Whole World Is Dying To Hear Someone Say, 'i Love You.' I Think That If I Can Leave The Legacy Of Love And Passion In The World, Then I Think I've Done My Job In A World That's Getting Colder And Colder By The Day.
