There's no denying that Rihanna loves speaking her mind, and while that may sometimes get her in trouble, other times she's simply just telling it like it is. Throughout her time in the spotlight, the "Kiss It Better" singer has offered lots of words to live by about love, relationships, and being comfortable in your own — and let's face it, we all could use some encouragement every now and then. We've rounded up Rihanna's most empowering quotes — keep reading to see them, then check out these little-known facts about the star.

"It's important for me to know who I am. There's no way for people to know me."
"You have to just accept your body. You may not love it all the way, but you just have to be comfortable with it."
"When you realize who you live for, and who's important to please, a lot of people will actually start living. I am never going to get caught up in that. I'm gonna look back on my life and say that I enjoyed it — and I lived it for me."

"I had to fake it till I made it. That's what I had to do. I had to pretend that I was as comfortable. I really was not . . . I had to just go for it."
"I don't do things for the response or for the controversy. I just live my life."
"I believe everybody's an individual. You can't judge someone based on someone else's actions."

"I'm just me. I don't feel a reason to change."
"When a door closes, you have two choices: give up or keep going. Let them shut you down, or prove them wrong. We all start somewhere; it's where you end up that counts."
"People hesitate to follow their desires because they don't know how to divide their soul from their spirit."

"I'm crazy, and I don't pretend to be anything else."
"You can't change who you are. It's important for me to know who I am and work with that. They're gonna keep knocking away until all this comes crashing down, but I'm not gonna ever crash. I'm in control."
"The bottom line is that everyone thinks differently."

"Tomorrow I'm still going to be the same person. I'm still going to do what I want to do."
"People want to shy away from the truth and keep sweeping it under the rug, but after a while, you pick up the rug and there's just way too much dirt, so you might as well just be upfront about it. If you just face it today, then tomorrow you can move on to something else."
"I want to set the right example and, at the same time, live my life."

"We live different lives, but we have a lot of the same life experiences."
"Sometimes a person looks at me and sees dollars. They see numbers and they see a product. I look at me and see art. If I didn't like what I was doing, then I would say I was committing slavery."
"Love makes you go places you probably wouldn't ever go, had it not been for love, but I think everybody still has their limits."
