On her son Rene: Oh my God, when he's 20 years old what's going to happen to me? I'm gonna marry him.

Love doesn't ask why, speaks from the heart, and never explains.

I'm so centered in feeling great about me that I can give great things to my son and my husband and my family.

I can't wait to do the normal things. Like just doing your own groceries. Looking for your own tomatoes. I just can't wait to get up in the morning and look awful. I'm looking forward to getting bored.

I have shared my whole life. My private and my show business life. It helps me actually to feel my songs and to go on with my dreams.

Don't make your career be your life. let it be your passion. Let it bring you pleasure. But don't let it become your identity. You are so much more valuable than that.

There's always a new thing happening to me that's even more extraordinary, so pressure gets harder. But I like it when it's hard. Anyone can do it when it's easy. When it's hard and you can do it good, you're proud of yourself. There's going to be more pressure as the years go by, that's for sure. But I think I'm a hard worker and I'm ready for that. As long as I believe in what I'm doing, the pressure is okay with me.
