From my experience, forgiving is the only way to survive.

If you leave home for a while ... you question the conventional wisdom you've grown up with. That doesn't mean you have to change your opinions or who you are, but it's good to ask the questions.

I think once you're a mother, you kind of always see your kids as a baby anyway no matter how old they get.

I've done kissing scenes with people who have been loaded. I'd think, 'Do you actually have to drink that Jack Daniels to kiss me?'

In life, there is always that special person who shapes who you are, who helps to determine the person you become.

I can't' really sing a song unless I really connect with the lyrics.

My dad has always just had a lot of faith in me as an artist and as a person, and he doesn't really dispense with a lot of advice when it comes to the music. He's taught me a lot over the years, but when I was taking on this project he's really hands-off about that. He just appreciates what I've done and is very supportive, and of course really proud.
