Songs are like movies to me, and so you put yourself in the movie. You become a character in the movie.

I always want to sing, but I don't always want to be trying to have No. 1 records. I don't think you can do it forever. I don't know what the time span of that is going to be. I want to sing because I want to sing.

I like a gooey cookie.

Divorce is so common and accepted in America that beating myself up over it may sound ridiculous. But I was raised to believe that divorce wasn't an option; to me, divorce equaled failure. I wasn't able to change that equation until I found myself in the right relationship.

I absolutely refused to make out with the gorgeous male model.

When people compliment my cooking, it's like somebody telling me that they like my music. And it's great to be known for something else.

When you're sick, nobody takes care of you like your mom.
