Being a singer is all about me. About ego. Being a mom is all about being selfless - two different worlds.

I was down after divorce - I was all the way down. And I just felt like, "God, I gotta turn this around. I can't go down like this. I have to know that this is happening for a reason." And I knew that I had to turn to music.

My husband really loves the red [lipstick], so I keep the red because I want to keep the husband.

My priorities are always going to be my husband and my family now. That's a huge, huge thing.

I'm vain enough to want do a movie again.

It was such a turning point to find that I had a talent and I had something to contribute, somewhere.

I think after doing Push and Shove and having it not be successful, I lost a lot of confidence. Songwriting, for me, has always been traumatic, and I've always made all these excuses. But I've realized that you have to just accept that it was a gift: "I don't know where it came from, I don't know how I did it, but I did write all those songs, and I gotta do it again."
