My mom always said I was the peacemaker in the family. My older brother, Eric, was the leader, the creative one. I was just his puppet.

Every record that I've ever made, I listen to it so much before it comes out. As soon as it comes out, I never listen to it again. It's, like, over.

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

Now I got my foot - through the door - and I ain't goin' no where.

It feels like the more I'm out there in the public eye, the more criticism I get. You need to have confidence - that's what it takes to walk out there and sing a song in front of a huge group of people.

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

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