At first it was my brother's songwriting and I was just doing what everyone told me.

Everything works out how it should.

I wanted so badly to have a backup plan for when I'm not performing anymore. Let's be realistic: it's not going to be like this forever.

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

No one can force me to do something unless I'm passionate about it.

I'm just writing what I feel, and I really don't think I've done anything wrong that I need to hide. The biggest thing, and I don't even like to bring it up, is my children - you know, you've gotta protect them.

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.
