And if I let myself down, appear on stage when I'm not looking my best, it's not fun for me. I just beat myself up about it.

When I think of a legacy, I think of the legacy of being a mom.

I'm trying to be present, not thinking and worrying about the past or the future. That's such a waste of time, you know?

I don't have a strong sense of self-worth unless I'm doing something.

I wish I could write more make-believe. It's a lot easier to write about hard times and when things are going wrong. But I've never been a private person.

I definitely look back at certain moments and don't think I look good...but I know why! I didn't have a hair stylist, I did all my own makeup, and I was going to the local fabric store for all of my outfits.

I've always worked really hard, and the hardest thing I've ever done is have kids!
