My future daughter is not going to go through what I did.

I'm not one that just throws music out there to keep it coming, and all that. I believe in the craft, and the time it takes to really nurture something and put a lot of effort into the details.

It's an amazing thing to say, 'I'm beautiful,' without feeling like you're cocky.

I'm a bit of a night owl because that's when I feel the most creative and alive.

I embrace my body, and I embrace everything about myself. Coming full circle is a celebration of freedom and happiness because that's what [my new album] 'Lotus' is representing. I'm embracing everything that I've grown to be and learned to be.

When I first met my husband, I needed that helping hand to take the reins and look after me.

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