I went horseback riding and got a big chunk of horse manure kicked into my face. It has a way of slapping you right back into reality.

Food can become such a point of anxiety - not because it's food, but just because you have anxiety. That's how eating disorders develop.

I was very lucky to be offered a lovely piece of property to build a career on. I started building a house on it, but it wasn't necessarily a house I would want to live in. So I ripped down that house, and I worked with these great lumberjacks to build a really cool cabin-a place I want to drink whiskey in and hang out until the sun rises.

I work hard and I will always work hard. But I feel very lucky with the way that it has all come together.

Now, performing is second nature and I love every second of it. It is a very emotional thing when I can't play a song; maybe I'm hitting on something that I don't want to deal with. All of it is so personal. It is like therapy.

I did not stop dancing; I did take two years off to get myself together.
