Even one kid going hungry in America is one too many. How can we stand by when the reality is that there are more than 12 million underfed children in the U.S.? We can make a difference.

I need somebody with staying power who will make me go weak in the knees.

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.

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

Every day of my life is going out in public and seeing people's lives and listening to stories - all that kind of stuff musically inspires me.

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.

Health to me is an overall mind, body, and kind of spirit thing.
