I don't have a very routine life; the kids' activities, our nightly routines, and morning routines are about as routine as it gets. In the middle of it all - other than my morning coffee, toast, and trying to get 7-8 hours of sleep a night - each day is different.

I love albums that have guest performers that the audience will be happy to hear. It's really a bonus!

I try to get enough sleep and exercise, try not to make mountains out of molehills, and vent a lot. I have a good team to support my work. I also do lots of mundane things, which will center me.

You get to a point in relationships where you don't want to push anything, but things need to change, move on, or develop.

Again, I'm used to speaking to a lot of people; I have a lot of friends and family, and I perform music and speak in front of a lot of crowds. So I share with people already a lot in my life.

I think a good mom is an awake mom. At least for me, I've always been a kinder, better person awake than sleep-deprived!

With all the things that you could be, you never could learn how to be me.
