Family has always been the number one priority no matter what happens anywhere else.

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!

When I was a teenager, I was fat. I was shy. I wore glasses. I had a big eyebrow and hair all over my body. They were years of torture.

A parent that's upset or resentful is not going to be a great paren.

You never know what life has in store for you, but I believe there are certain things one is meant to go through

I was going to be a doctor, but I think my music allowed me to help more people than I could have done one-on-one as a psychologist. Just like other people's music really helped me.

Whatever it is your heart desires, please go for it, it's yours to have.
