When the audience leaves, I'd like them to feel positive when they go.

And looking at today's music scene, I think it's cool that there are a lot of consumers and fans not limited by what radio and the record companies tell them to buy.

I like the big ups. I'm into the big ups.

I've always enjoyed playing live onstage.

I'm really fortunate that I've had some mega hits.

In between that time, I've done book narrating, you know, books on tape for Dove Audio.

There's also, I think more so in the music business and especially for women, this ceiling that people put on you if you have children or a family and decide to spend time with them.
