I really thought I was on the way out. My husband Blake saved my life. Often I don't know what I do, then the next day the memory returns. And then I am engulfed in shame.

I always wrote poetry and stuff like that, so putting songs together wasn't that spectacular.

I don't think I'm such an amazing person who needs to be written about.

The jazz I love is sweet and pure with raw elements, which is exactly what the good hip-hop is doing now.

I always try to write a song to work things out with myself and I want to do it with a little punchline at the end, because I never want to remember anything bad in my life.

I love to live and I live to love.

You know how you either grow up in a Michael Jackson house or a Prince house? For me it was Michael Jackson. I could never decide whether I wanted to be Michael Jackson or marry him.
