I love stretching myself musically.

I'm really happy to be a mom, and I'm proud of the phase I'm in.

I wear clothes that most people in the Midwest would probably deem inappropriate at my age. And I rock a bikini all summer long. I know that it's not normal, but I just don't care. I live once.

After my first record came out, I read everything. I was so amazed that I was in the press.

You're really creative when you're in an environment that you don't know how to handle. So collaborating was like that for me. I think that was one of the reasons why I knew I was gonna get a challenging reaction.

Music is sound. It's a wave. It's going out and coming back, and it's bouncing off.

I have my head screwed on right. I haven't been this way in a long time.
