As a famous person you think how you're gonna end it, get away and have a normal life.

Being a mom is hard, I think a lot of working moms feel that way.

When you write a great song, it just blows you away. When you write a song that connects with people around the world - I mean like it actually transcends language barriers - you see how it can affect people, and it's quite a tall order to follow up on.

When you first have a baby your life doesn't change. I mean, you have a little less sleep and you drag these cuddly things around you and it's just amazing. But you still get to be you. Once they get to, like, five, six and school and it starts to get, like, 'Wow, they got real problems. They're my responsibility.' Oh my God. That is overwhelming.

I've always worked really hard, and the hardest thing I've ever done is have kids!

I have to tell everyone everything that's going on. It is different once you're married, because that's sacred.

I was a different person before I started to write. When I realized I could be a songwriter and that people would listen - that was when I started feeling good in my life.
