I think what happens in the world, and I think it's part human nature and part programming, is we become an emulation of what we see. We become clones of each other.

I know people who've gone to jail. It don't mean you stop loving them! They deservin' love just as much in there, and maybe they needin' it more.

Some of the greatest artists did their best work when they got political.

I love being a mom. And I think what I love the most is the way it makes me think about what's important and what's not important. What to fight for and what to just be cool with. What it is that I'm teaching through example and what it is that I was taught that I don't want to teach.

I've always valued the input of the people I love. So in the past, whenever I'd make a decision - what to wear to an event, whether to pursue a job opportunity - I'd consult those closest to me, like my mother, husband, or manager.

I find that the love we share fills me up and makes me see and appreciate life in a different way.

Risk the fall to know how it feels to fly.
