There was no way in hell I was going to jeopardize my baby for my show.

One day I hope to open a shelter of my own. I think it's really important to share my own story with women who've been abused, because going through that experience has led me to where I am today: It's given me the strength and motivation to be the best that I can be.

It's been a joy to be a part of other people's journey, to be able to inspire and be a part of new singers coming up in this business.

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

I wanna say thank you cause: Makes me that much stronger, makes me work a little bit harder. makes me that much wiser. so thanks for making me a fighter!

People don't always want to have females as leaders.

It's always nerve-wracking when you're hosting "Saturday Night Live." You either sink or swim.
