I am a tip-top starlet. That is my job that I am paid to do.

I didn't set out to write certain kinds of songs - I just set out to write good songs.

I don't want no lies, I don't watch TV. I don't waste my time, won't read a magazine.

I love being a mother. My children fill me up in many ways, and inspire me in many ways, but I need a partner in my life and I think most people feel that way.

I like to touch people's hearts.

I've read a couple of reviews that say I'm getting harder in my old age but I don't think that's true at all. I think that you can't help but become a little cynical about life and love but I'm still a romantic, I'm still an idealist.

I'm not a feminist, I'm a humanist.
