I don't go to record stores to look at my albums, but it's always a thrill to see them.

I wanted a child, and there was no way I could get pregnant under the stress of 18-hour work days and live TV. When you're somebody who's used to making a decision about what they want to do and getting it and achieving it, when your body fails you, it's a whole other experience.

I've never been fired in my life.

The thing that's tricky is sometimes the best voices - just because someone hits the big notes and sounds amazing - it doesn't necessarily mean they make the greatest artists.

Listen to the Bee Gees and you can learn to be a great writer.

I can sing in front of people. I can go on a TV show, live, and not feel like I'm going to throw up.

I have breakups that I can credit to every song. In my twenties, I picked people who would create that dysfunction and drama, so I could draw upon it.
