I wish I could write more make-believe. It's a lot easier to write about hard times and when things are going wrong. But I've never been a private person.

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

It's not about me - it's like, "How can I help you?" And when you give like that, you receive so much. It was an incredible experience, but it also gave me that bug: I wanted new music so badly.

I have people that are affected by what I do, what I say, and that would be the one place where it gets complicated. But being honest and truthful - I just believe that's the best way to be.

I don't fight with people - like, I can barely fight with my husband because I'll just start crying instead.

Our memories, they can be inviting. But some are altogether, mighty frightening.

To write an album takes so much focus and selfish time, to just write and think about your life. For me. Maybe not for other people.
