I never imagined I would be in a film with Steve Martin. I was a little star struck, because I grew up watching his movies.

Who I am on stage is very, very different to who I am in real life. But I don't see that having a sexy image when you are on stage means that you don't love God. No one knows what I'm really like from that. I like to walk around with bare feet and I don't like to comb my hair. I'm always so glammed up and so diva on stage and that's what they see. People don't understand that... No one knows my personal relationship with God and it's not up to me to prove that to anyone.

I wanted to be famous for my music and my talent, and I always wished I could cut it out when I left the stage.

That's why I called it Dangerously In Love. It's basically all of the steps in a relationship from when you first meet a guy to realizing you're interested to dancing with him the first night to thinking that you're in love to realizing that you're now a little open to making love to breaking up to having to love yourself after the breakup. All of that. A celebration of love.

Any other woman who has to go to work and pick up the kids and make dinner - that's way harder than what I have to do.

I get nervous when I don't get nervous. If I'm nervous I know I'm going to have a good show.

I love my job, but it’s more than that: I need it.
