Let freedom ring, let the white dove sing, let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong... it's Independence Day.

Having three daughters, it is important for me to set a good example and teach them to make decisions that are healthy for your heart no matter what age you are.

I believe everything in moderation. But breakfast is important. I have two hard-boiled or scrambled eggs with whole-wheat toast and try to get some fruit in there.

I'm just the instrument for the song to do whatever it's supposed to do-heal, inspire or encourage. It's not all about me, it's about the song. I'm just the lucky girl who gets to sing these songs.

That's the hardest thing about being a mom. You want to be cool, and you want them to like you all the time, but you can't always have that. You're gonna have times where you have to say no, and you won't be the most popular person in the house.

I try to visualize geometric shapes and patterns slowly spinning and expanding into infinity.

I really just tried to make a record full of great songs, which is the goal I always have.
