If I could be doing anything, I'd be laying on the floor in my birthday suit eating junk food and watching something dumb on TV.

Completeness? Happiness? These words don't come close to describing my emotions. There truly is nothing I can say to capture what motherhood means to me, particularly given my medical history.

It's impossible to write and produce a record when your parents are dying. I really tried, I really, really tried, but it just wouldn't come.

I don't let people use me. That's why I like a small number of people in my life. The more people in my life, the more complex it becomes, so I just try to keep it at a minimum.

When you're away for a long time, tastes change, fans move on. You hate to think about it, but it's an ugly fact of life.

I need my career. That's what validates me.

I'm picking and choosing in terms of the stress factor. If it's not fun, I'm not going to do it.
