The hardest thing for me is planning ahead. My mom was brilliant at it.

When you're a mom to three children, nothing bothers you. Trust me. Who cares what people say? I've got other things to deal with.

My goal as an artist is to always be true to who I am and give my fans music they will enjoy for a lifetime

I know one of the reasons God gave me kids was to test my patience.

There are things I've done in the past I'm not proud of - and I could talk about them if I wanted to - but I don't reveal my secrets... I prefer certain things to remain personal; there have to be boundaries. And I don't think you need a scandal to have an interesting story.

In the real world, it is hard to be taken seriously as a woman. Use your brain and be smart about your choices. There's nothing wrong with being a good girl - it's actually very attractive and sexy.

A man who is right by your side through everything makes you happy. But he can leave your side to make dinner once in a while!
