After I had my son, Max, I knew I wanted to get involved in causes that help children.

I lose myself in my performances so I wouldn't say that I ever act on stage. I don't find it to be an acting drill for me. I just find it to be something very real that comes from a very gut-driven, honest place.

Basically, what I'm saying is there is nothing fake about what I do. I'm up-front, I'm real, I'm honest and I'm open with my feelings.

I don't want to be just a straight pop singer. I'm a vocalist and that's what I want to be seen as in the long run.

The most successful people I've worked with, like the Rolling Stones - people of a different, kind of legendary caliber - have such great, warm energy.

My body can't put anyone in jeopardy of not making money anymore - my body is just not on the table that way anymore.

I still got the nasty in me.
