I simply have a marvellous life, a very lucky life.

I keep a diary when I have time to. I always know that I'm either having a great time or I'm very busy when there are three weeks of nothing in my diary. But I like to look back because in ten years to the day I can know where I was and what I was doing, and that's a nice feeling.

I am lucky to have the greatest band and when you add a symphony orchestra to the mix it brings all of my songs to a whole new level. I wouldn't say I really change what I do but, having those talented musicians behind me, along with my band, really makes the songs so much bigger and more fun to sing.

A few years ago I appeared on GLEE and, Jane Lynch and I did a remake of the song that was very popular - someone told me it was in the Top 100 when it was released. First, walking on the set of GLEE the day we filmed it was surreal as they had recreated the entire original set from the music video. It was bizarre - but fun.

Breast Cancer is not necessarily a death sentence, stay strong and centered and be involved in all aspects of your treatment.

My cancer scare changed my life. I'm grateful for every new, healthy day I have. It has helped me prioritize my life.

We wake up and are grateful for the day. Not taking away from the pain, because the pain will be there. But you live on.
