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

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

All I want to do is be normal. But really, it's other people who won't let me be that way.

I really feel free and not as serious as I have been in the past.

Toward the end of my pregnancy, I felt really big - I gained about 40 pounds, which is a lot for my size.

I felt caged by my childhood.

In school that used to happen a lot: they'd get me to sing and then they'd hate me for it.
