I have learned a lot about myself and come to deal with a lot of things that, at first, bothered me.

when life gives you lemons. Make yourself a screwdriver

Every song that has been a hit for me has been honest and truthful. I have to believe that same formula will work on this (television) show. It has to be believable and honest.

But I like to listen to demos. I like to hear the finished product. It's like listening to a song - I mean, a story. If you're going to sit here and tell me a story, I just like to listen. I don't want to make them up.

I think my song that reminds me of Mama is "I'm A Survivor" because she is one.

I've never really done this. Now I know what scared is.
