Not like [Adele Dazeems] going to follow me around for the rest of my life.

Nerves are good. They keep you alive.

'Frozen' definitely isn't about a man, but about the relationship between two sisters. At different times in our lives we find ourselves either more connected to or disconnected from the people in our family, and I think audiences will really be able to relate to that.

I definitely use my music to kind of alleviate my stress and get me through specific moments in time where I'm just being really tough on myself.

Performing isn't only about the acrobatics and the high notes: It's staying in the moment, connecting with the audience in an authentic way, and making yourself real to them through the music. I am more than the notes I hit, and that's how I try to approach my life. You can't get it all right all the time, but you can try your best. If you've done that, all that's left is to accept your shortcomings and have the courage to try to overcome them.

As I get older, I realize all I've done is sing and act and hone those skills.

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