You get to a point in life where it suddenly occurs to you that you don't need all the things you once thought you did--that it's really, well, convoluted. My life feels overblown sometimes, and I don't want it to be. I want it to be streamlined. So I'm living a much more unscripted life now than I have in a long time.

It's a shame to call somebody a 'diva' simply because they work harder than everybody else.

I don't get anything for free. I pay for all my beauty treatments.

I know it's hard for women to tap into that feeling of self-worth. We need to get the message out that you are valued, you are a goddess and don't forget that.

I am positive - determined to move forward with my life, bring up my babies, and do the best job I can as a mother, entertainer, and person.

I've been married twice and I've tried to make it work, but I feel I haven't had a real marriage yet.

I love working with the singers. I love just finding them.
