You hear sounds and orchestration, it's ... the fastest way, I think, to your emotions, even if you don't understand the language of the song.

I go to bed wearing a very baggy one-piece cheetah suit, just because it makes my son laugh. My sexy lingerie has been locked in a drawer for a while.

I didn't have a teenage or early-20s experience that was free and without worry. I missed the screw-everything, have-a-good-time phase.

I was afraid of being a failure, of not having the best time or of being chicken. But every year I get older I think, What was I fearing last year?' You forget. And then you move on.

The rule is you have to dance a little bit in the morning before you leave the house because it changes the way you walk out in the world.

You never quite know what the change is until, one day, you wake up and go, "Wow, I'm reacting to things differently and I feel differently."

Uniqueness was something my mother pounded into me.
