I'm used to adversity and working really well in difficult situations. It was hard for me to accept the success

I've left Bethlehem, and I feel free. I've left the girl I was supposed to be, and some day I'll be born.

I like women who can throw a ball and laugh loud and have some spine, and I like men who don't mind cooking dinner.

But at the age of 44, I sure hope to be a better businesswoman. I want to get the music straight to my fans.

And she is your holy Mary. And I am so ordinary.

I want to sit with my legs wide open and laugh so loud that the whole damn restaurant turns and looks at me.

I'm raising my daughter with her grandparents in the picture, and that feels good.
