I think being really connected to a higher power, of having a spirituality to me, has been really good for me and I pray all the time.

It's not until I hear songs that I've done, that I realize how much of an inspiration music from the '60s and '70s has been.

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

I've learned that one of my greatest secrets is scheduling downtime into a busy schedule. This gives me the time to have quality moments with my husband and son, who both recharge my spirit in ways I never imagined.

Love me like you'll never see me again.

I'm in constant pursuit of growing and evolving.

I just wanted to be who I was, which was like so many other girls I knew. We grew up in the city, had a hard edge and obstacles to overcome, but we were still young and beautiful. I didn't want to be all dressed up, all made up - I wanted to be myself, which hadn't been done before.
