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 don't think that I'm a top 40 artist in any way. So I don't think I'm that mainstream.

I've never even been out of my BMI range. I'm 5-foot-3. If I gain five pounds, it shows.

I think most artists start off playing in front of people and are used to doing it before they go out. I kind of did it the opposite. The thing got blown sky high and I'm on TV on "Good Morning America" doing my first performance in front of everybody. I think it was backward and from that, what I got out of it, the end is what I wanted, which was headlining my own tour, having people come because they loved my record and loved my music.

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 don't ascribe to any particular style or period.
