Once I had kids, my whole attitude changed. I was like, "You make a spinal cord from scratch and we'll talk."

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.

You can't change the past so don't let it haunt you. You can change the future but first you've got to want to.

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

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

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.
