We've been expected to be perfect but we aren't. We're still human.

I just want one day off when I can go swimming and eat ice cream and look at rainbows.

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.

I think that for me personally, a lot of my choices have been to do with my own issues of not feeling safe as a child and feeling a sense of stability.

I still listen to older music a lot more than new singers. I listen to whatever's on the radio, but when I want to listen to something that moves me I put on a Stevie Wonder record.

A lot of people are singing about how screwed up the world is, and I don't think that everybody wants to hear about that all the time.

I know I can be diva-ish sometimes, but I have to be in control. The nature of my life, the nature of what I do, is divadom, it really is.
