For me the visual is just as important as the music.

I knew there would be a negative reaction in the press to my divorce, but I am not going to live my life because of something someone might say.

I'm very protective of how much I let people see.

I am a woman who has my extreme vulnerable side and my baggage - and at times I feel extremely weak.

Thankfully, I have my mom and a small group of close friends who are there for me 24/7 and whom I can trust and depend on.

I still have my eyes on the prize: I want to be that old lady onstage shaking her hips and singing her greatest hits.

I'm one that likes to collaborate. I love feeding off the creative energy, and it only makes me better.
