I've never heard a song written from a stepmother's point of view, about their family.

We live in an epidemic of self-hatred. I see it daily with people coming at me, and they do it to everybody, it's not just me. The hatred is really stemming from them not liking themselves. When you look at it that way, I feel so much empathy and understanding for those people.

We definitely set out to make a great 'radio' record. We set out to write great hooky choruses-but with verses that said something.

It's wonderful to have money. But It's good that I know what the other side is like. I don't take for granted what I have now.

I'm living life as best I can - but I'm not exempt from failure and making bad choices.

As a singer and songwriter, I have great admiration for many of the budding stars who come to try their hand at performing and can relate to the hopes and aspirations of all the contestants, no matter how good or bad.

Eddie and I are overwhelmed by the amount of lovely well wishes. We are blessed and.... I'm Mrs. Cibrian!
