First of all, I'm pretty private about my personal life.

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.

Everything changes all the time, and unfortunately, everyone who knows what you do by buying records only hears a small amount of what's going on in your life.

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

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.

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.

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