The artists I look up to are the ones who push their own limits.

Hurt me to see the pain across my mothers face, every time my father's fist would put her in her place.

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

I'm very eclectic in what I like and what I listen to. But my favorite musical ever is "The Sound of Music." That was actually one that inspired me to sing.

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.

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.

It's been quite a roller coaster ride, but I've grown and learned a lot about myself. The greatest thing is being able to interact with fans and touch people's lives... for that I give thanks.
