When I decided to be a singer, my mother warned me I'd be alone a lot. Basically we all are. Loneliness comes with life.

If you say my eyes are beautiful, it's because they are looking at you.

Loneliness comes with life.

No one makes me do anything I don't want to do.

From the beginning, the camera and I were great friends. It loves me, and I love it.

I've read about myself and my husband and my family, to the point where they've called my parents, they've called my brothers, offering money to tell stories. They call friends of mine. I'd just like for them to just ... don't badger us. Don't scrutinize us. We have children and they have to live, too. It's not fair.

To learn your artistry and to be able to perfect that, is overwhelming. Especially when you are exuding love. The human emotion is a very delicate thing, so you have to be careful about how you present it because it can be kind of scary, or too overwhelming if you're not careful. So I try to just keep it love.
