I have a lust for life.

I learned something from that. If someone asks me something that I really don't want to do, I say no. I have to trust that. And I'm not afraid to talk money.

I keep a great organiser, I try to keep my priorities in the right place.

If I do an interview, then I take full responsibility. I figure I'm not going to talk to anyone that I think is unethical anyway.

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.

It has always been, and still is, my intention to build a playground in Central Park.

I want to go Africa. I want to go to China. There are some places I want to go not to work, but to really explore and to see for my own education.
