When I watched American Idol, I always thought Simon was the most realistic. Simon's like, It was absolutely horrid. That's what they tell in the music industry.

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

If anyone did any harm to my children, I don't know what I would do.

But I don't want to be out there anymore; I don't want people asking me about my health issues, about my kids. I choose not to be a public paparazzi girl on purpose.

You don't want a whole bunch of yes people around you.

I learned that I had to believe in myself and not just to be comfortable with the opinions of others. I'm just more in control; I finalize everything.

I've always tried to be positive. There's a lot going on.
