I like being in love. I want to be in love, but at this stage of my life, my career is, by far, the most important thing to me. It's my passion.

I'd lose my mind if I heard my kid call the nanny Mommy.

I think that once an artist has proven herself and you sell lots of records, you should be compensated.

Although becoming a singer was my plan A after first hearing Whitney Houston when I was 17, I started off with plan B by going to the teacher-training college that my dad went to. It was a slow coming of age.

When you take high risks, the rewards are higher. So sometimes I'll gamble just to see what happens. If it doesn't work, I know I can't do that.

I do six shows a week. Sometimes my voice gets tired, but I love it.

I can imagine you touching my private parts. With just the thought of you I can't help, but touch myself.
