It's easier for me to sit with the producers and the writers and I give them my feelings and my thoughts and what I think I feel like singing about and then they go away and write it.

I spend too much money on my sets and my gowns. I think the presentation is important. I don't think people want to see the old show all the time.

I always wanted to be a fashion designer and I learned costume illustration in high school. That was an incredible high school. It was more like a college. I'm moving more in that direction, just kind of merchandising my name.

I think that if my voice for some reason changes - because your voice does change - then it's time for me not to sing.

Hair has always been important.

I majored in fashion design in school, and I have always wanted to design my own line of clothing, jewelry, and stuff like that; so this was just a step for me in that direction.

Instead of looking at the past, I put myself ahead twenty years and try to look at what I need to do now in order to get there then.
