Being a role model is about being true to myself.

The cold never bothered me anyway.

As a mom, I don't have much time for beauty.

It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small, and the fears that once controlled me can't get to me at all.

In my songs there's a lot of intimate, personality - driven, sweet singing, and that's the kind I actually love the most, as close to how we speak as possible.I do get to do the crazy high notes, of course. But that's also a part of me. I'm full spectrum. A vulnerable side and a side that wants to kick ass.

Things happen for a reason, and in their own time.

I love working with a cast and a group of people every day, which is different than recording because you're usually pretty isolated and alone. They serve as a good balance for each other.
