It's been a joy to be a part of other people's journey, to be able to inspire and be a part of new singers coming up in this business.

That's why I wrote 'Fighter'. I have that need in me to help people. I am all about the underdog.

I went through my first big breakup, with a boyfriend who I had been with for more than two years. He had been one of my dancers, and it was my first love and his.

You are beautiful in every single way. Words can't bring you down.

My first love was singing and I had no time for boys.

I hate working out - I have to mentally push myself through it. I can get very whiny, saying things like, 'I can't do it!'

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.
