Writing songs is super intimate. It's a bit like getting naked.

Although I'd always wanted children, it was such an opposite thing to being a singer.

We all have to go through hard times. Tragedies. Those are given to us to see what we're going to do with them.

I remember my boyfriend and I had just broken up, and I was like 'I don't care how much it costs, I'm getting my hair bleached!' That's really when everything changed.

I'm hoping my children will save me from my vanity. If it doesn't, plastic surgery is an option... It sucks to have to grow older. We all have to accept it.

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