It's impossible to redefine yourself and your life overnight.

When I learned how millions of children go to bed hungry, my only response was, 'What can I do to help?'

I just kick off my shoes, walk around barefoot, I don't care if my feet get dirty.

The schedule is crazy - it's all suitcases and hotel rooms and you just go nonstop. It's a crazy lifestyle, it really is.

Independence was a big, big thing for me. I saw my voice as a way out - 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 have six-year-old fans that weren't even around for 'Genie in a Bottle' or even 'Fighter.'

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