I'm very hard on myself and I have too many issues.

I understand people want to hold on to their roots.

In this world, I call the shots and I think I know best.

Being a mother is probably the hardest job in the world. I feel like, in a lot of ways, children come into the world to teach us.

The fans never send me crazy things. They send me things that they put so much time and effort into making, and they are so amazing. You have to see them!

I know you're shining down on me from Heaven, like so many friends we've lost along the way. And I know eventually we'll be together, one sweet day.

I don't mind being compared to Whitney (Houston), there are people miles worse to be compared to.
