I feel anger and I feel understanding. It's a difficult position to be in.

I know people who are twice as creative as I am, twice as smart, but they didn't do anything because they feared going into a room and opening their mouths. My parents told me to truly accomplish things in my life, there would be times I would have to stand alone. It may be scary, but that's what it requires.

Once you realize there is a Higher Power, you know you're not alone, that you have a purpose on the planet. You control your destiny instead of letting the day lead you where it may. You seize it, take it and lead it.

I am used to being on tours with people who are fantastic performers and I respect them and I love their music. But the bottom line is they got the vision for what we are trying to do.

The more you push the budgets up, the more you make records cost $20, the more you make records last 4 and 5 minutes on the radio.

I'm not the type that's going to sit and preach to people if they don't need it just because I've been around the block a few times.

A confident woman is a sexy woman, in my opinion. And I think guys find that to be the same way.
