I have always been a singer/songwriter and I was pushed in places I didn't want to do, like pop or top forty. I don't belong there.

I'm not eager to jump into marriage again. I'm in the corner right now, wearing my dunce cap. That area is obviously a nightmare.

I like helping children. I have a big thing with children. You can correspond with the child, send something to them as a gift. You know it's actually getting there and you are doing something to help.

Something happens to people around fame and power and money - it can bring out the worst and best in people; it's a monster you have to tame.

I would describe my aesthetic as definitely personal and harmonious with an eclectic yet bohemian sensibility.

I knew that because of who I am, and the situation I'm in, that I'd attract more critics than your average person, and that was a little intimidating, but I wanted to get out there and pay my dues.

I think having kids just makes you want to do things to help people. You have children and you see how fragile and innocent and helpless they are when they first start out. If they are going to be a victim of whatever they are surrounded by, I just do everything I can to try to make whatever change I can.
