I wasn't a great background singer.

I'm a very independent woman.

Wearing a bikini on a magazine cover is my 41st birthday present to myself.

Children are easily influenced, and I always want to do things I can be proud to show my kids someday.

I have worries and fears just like everybody else. But I have every reason to wake up each morning and be very happy.

I think what makes our marriage work amid all the glare is that my husband is my best friend. He inspires everything in my life and enables me to do the best that I can. I want to hang out with him more than anyone.

I grew up asking for everything under the sun for Christmas, but I knew I wasn't going to get it all.
