Pop is actually my least favorite kind of music, because it lacks real depth.

So, where's the Cannes Film Festival being held this year?

It's been quite a roller coaster ride, but I've grown and learned a lot about myself. The greatest thing is being able to interact with fans and touch people's lives... for that I give thanks.

Growing up with the childhood that I had, I learned to never let a man make me feel helpless, and it also embedded a deep need in me to always stick up for women.

I have always been one to encourage perseverance.

I enjoy real people, down-to-earth people who are true to themselves and honest to your face - good or bad.

Some people are afraid of change and [feel] that getting older is a bad thing, but I really love maturing and gaining wisdom, and the experience of being pregnant and having a child and seeing what a woman's body can do is amazing.
