I knew there would be a negative reaction in the press to my divorce, but I am not going to live my life because of something someone might say.

When I'm lost in the rain, In your eyes I know I'll find the light to light my way And when I'm scared, losing ground When my world is going crazy You can turn it all around and when I'm down you're there Pushing me to the top You're always there, giving me all you've got

It's hard being such a powerful woman in the business. I'm known for not always being warm and fuzzy, because you'll just get bulldozed over.

When my parents fought, I'd run up to my room, put on The Sound of Music, open the window and sing out. My voice was my escape. I saw it as a way out.

It's amazing how a truly great songwriter can touch anyone in the world with their words.

Honestly, I just want to have a good time, listen to great singers and great music, and just use my instincts, as usual.

I want a bad boy in public, and a pussy cat at home!
