You can look at my palm and see the storm coming. Read the book of my life and see I've overcome it.

You can't get around pain and opposition, but you can try to be joyful in the trial, and thank yourself for the trial, and thank God for the strength to get through it.

When you come from so many damaged places you don't ever want to spiral back there, so you gotta continue to check yourself.

I grew up watching MTV, when Journey was huge, when Pat Benatar had 'Love Is a Battlefield,' and my friends and I used to cut school to watch this woman in the video. We loved Pat Benatar.

'My Life' is soft, with notes of pear and gardenia, but still bold, with a woody base.

I barely have time for my own children. To adopt more children and not have time for them, that would be poor parenting on my part.

I don't have any health problems, but to keep your health improves your quality of life.
