I'm very comfortable in my own skin now. I started just being myself more and more. For women, this happens as you get older. I loved my 40s - I thought they were fantastic. And I'm loving my 50s. I'm going to love everything because you're either older or dead!

Music has been one of the most beautiful things in my life and will always be a very big part of who I am and what I do.

I voted, always vote. It's very important to me. My kids, I take them with me since they were little, so they realize it's a responsibility.

Everybody's not as fortunate as I've been that can have their hubby with them on the road, that we can do whatever we want and mainly be honest with the kids. Just the time that you do give them, make it be great time. It doesn't have to be hours.

There's some people that are 24 hours with the baby and it doesn't make a difference. They could be anywhere.

I don't want anything from Cuba. I want them to be free and enjoy the things I enjoy.

My mom was an amazing singer and music was a big part of my life, so I grew up listening to Nat King Cole, Johnny Mathis, Henry Mancini; I used to watch 'The Andy Williams Show' on TV. I was very musical, so I was watching stuff that most kids my age wouldn't be interested in.
