You're a heartbreaker, dream maker, love taker, don't you mess around with me.

Most chick-singers say "If you hurt me, I'll die"... I say, if you hurt me, I'll kick your ass.

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

My most important inspirational job that I do is raising those kids. That's my job. And that's where my ambition goes. But I have a life. I'm not only their mother. I'm still who I was before, I just don't get to be it all the time.

Of course, you're not making records in a vacuum. I'm not making them for myself. It would be nice if I could get more people to hear them. But if I have to sell my soul to the devil to do it, I won't.

I love Katy Perry and Lady GaGa. I think GaGa's pushing the envelope every day and I really like that.

I spent most of my adult life as someone's mother and the rest of my life trying to make sure that children are safe. So this to me is - we wrote Hell Is For Children in 1979.
