Everybody needs that one person that takes you to the right place to see all the positives in your life.

At this point of my life, I'm 32 and I feel sexier than ever because you know what you want.

You used to have to sing and convey emotion, and now, well, technically you can do anything with technology. It sucks for music today, but that's why that old music feels so good to me.

I went through my first big breakup, with a boyfriend who I had been with for more than two years. He had been one of my dancers, and it was my first love and his.

Whatever I do, it's my business. It's not my job to parent America.

I don't want to be just a straight pop singer. I'm a vocalist and that's what I want to be seen as in the long run.

I don't even watch my own show: I tape it, I'm out.
