I wouldn't feel right wearing clothes covering my body.

I don't want to believe my own hype. I want to stay hungry and stay eager and be the best that I can be.

Some people are afraid of change and [feel] that getting older is a bad thing, but I really love maturing and gaining wisdom, and the experience of being pregnant and having a child and seeing what a woman's body can do is amazing.

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.

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

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.

I look back at the looks I've had over the years. I'm proud of myself that I had the courage to experiment with crazy hairstyles and some fashion things. Would I do it again? No. But that's part of the learning process and getting from point A to point B.
