When I was working a lot, I felt guilty as a parent. I couldn't pick up my son every day from school, bake him cookies and that kind of thing.

. . . it is true, even people with painful childhoods. . . grow up to be more interesting people. So, there's always a positive to a negative.

I like simple things. Elastic waists, so I can eat.

I hated singing. I wanted to be an actress. But I don't think I'd have made it any other way.

I just became a singer, because I could never get work as an actress.

I've been called many names like perfectionist, difficult and obsessive. I think it takes obsession, takes searching for the details for any artist to be good.

Oh God, don't envy me, I have my own pains.
