When my parents fought, I'd run up to my room, put on The Sound of Music, open the window and sing out. My voice was my escape. I saw it as a way out.

Red lips and fragrance always top off an outfit for me.

I find fragrance to be such a mood enhancer and definitely a seduction tool.

I try to stay focused on my creativity.

I'm not a judgmental person, so I can't comment on someone else's background.

Toward the end of my pregnancy, I felt really big - I gained about 40 pounds, which is a lot for my size.

It's amazing how a truly great songwriter can touch anyone in the world with their words.
