I've gone through a lot of the same things like Britney Spears. I just don't have a mug shot.

I always had this dream to make a solo record. I told my mom when I was 7 years old, but I just ended up being in bands. I'm a free spirit. I follow my heart, and it's led me to where I am.

You can be a mother and still be completely sexy.

I love crying at romantic movies like 'The Notebook.' I'm always bawling.

I think everything happens for a reason and all of my choices have led me up to my solo album and made me stronger, not only as an artist but as a person. I want to do more the Black Eyed Peas albums and more of my own albums. I'm in this for the long run.

I call my therapist every other day. It's not a one-stop shop. You have to push away all that negativity in your head. Face it, name it, let it go.

You have to be strong. You have to know how you are, and you have to know who your partner is and you have to know who your friends, who your real friends are.
