The first years of a child's life are too important for a child's future - their development, earnings, behavior, and health - for anyone to ignore.

I've always thought of myself as a woman who works hard, believes in herself, and wants to accomplish as much as possible.

It doesn't bother me to talk about my private life, it doesn't bother me to talk about anything. My life is like a glass of water, transparent.

There is no other investment that has the kind of social multiplier effect that early education has. It is an incredible thing to nurture and watch grow and spread.

My little boy (Sasha) is now one-year-old and that makes it easier for me to go back to the studio and work on creating new music.

It's not easy to work with me, I recognize that. It's not easy if those people aren't as perfectionistic as I am.

I think it's my energy and love of life that has been the real key to my fame and success.
