Growing up, my mom was very strict about how I dressed and how I behaved, and I said to myself that I wasn't going to be like that. But now I know I'm going to be exactly like my mom. I'm going to be worse!

Music is my passion - it's what I love and it's in my blood. You can never take me away from my work.

A lot of songs are empowering because everybody who has been through a hard time in a relationship or in their lives can relate to it.

I love a man with a great sense of humor and who is intelligent - a man who has a great smile. He has to make me laugh. I like a man who is very ambitious and driven and who has a good heart and makes me feel safe. I like a man who is very strong and independent and confident - that is very sexy - but at the same time, he's very kind to people.

When I hit my thirties, that's when I calmed down and I wasn't so tough on myself. I wasn't doing the yo-yo dieting any more. I gave myself a break. I think that, if you're more accepting of yourself, you're more free and open and can just allow more people in.

I can be quite daring with my clothes but I believe that you have to feel comfortable and confident to carry off whatever it is you're wearing.

I see lots of women having beautiful children later in life. And, if not, just freeze your eggs!
