I listen to both oldies and contemporary stations. I enjoy listening to current stuff because there's an energy to it that's inspiring.

Today's records, even though they may be lyrically repetitive and not saying anything particularly heavy, they have energy.

I still believe that everyone is beautiful in some way and by seeing the beauty in others we make ourselves more beautiful.

It is very common with artists who are of a generation that has already gone by to get overly concerned with, Oh my God I have to sell to the younger generation.

I just want to give it all that I got. I just don't want to waste it.

I'm a songwriter first...In my career I have never felt that my being a woman was an obstacle or an advantage. I guess I've been oblivious...Sensitive, humbug. Everybody thinks I'm sensitive...There is a downside to having one of the biggest-selling albums ever.

Now and forever, I'll remember all the promises still unbroken and think about all the words between us that never needed to be spoken.
