I can live a totally normal life and do everything I want to do just as long as I take my medication. My body will give me signals if it gets weak or fatigued, so I know when I need to take a break.

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

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.

I look at other artists who have had fabulous first albums, and you don't know what they're doing today. Who's to say I'll be an exception to that rule?

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.

Cause you mean the world to me, you are my everything; I swear the only thing that matters, matters to me.

I take an active role in my imaging and how I look.
