Love and pain become one and the same in the eyes of a wounded child.

I play ten, twelve weeks out of the year, five times a week, and I really still love to do it. But that's not what I'm interested in doing now. Even though I love it.

I wasn't interested in fabricating things and altering what I did to make hit records.

I felt I had a responsibility to do the right thing. And then I wanted to do the right thing by my family and there was no handbook.

There are so many young women coming up through the ranks. Adele is an amazing singer. Beyonce has great stage presence. She's just a beautiful woman. I love how everyone has just taken charge of their lives and careers.

If at any moment of the day I ever think I'm remotely cool at all, which is hardly ever, I have two daughters who make sure that never happens.

We can't afford to be innocent, stand up and face the enemy. It's a do or die situation, we will be invincible.
