It's definitely a dream come true to be recognized and to be able to sign autographs. But, it's also a lot of hard work and can be draining. If you don't know already, you will quickly learn who your real friends are.
I definitely love women. They are more attractive to the naked eye.
I think all of us as women have this super-human quality. We create life, we give life, we are the sources of life for our children - we're all pretty bionic.
Growing up with the childhood that I had, I learned to never let a man make me feel helpless, and it also embedded a deep need in me to always stick up for women.
It's been quite a roller coaster ride, but I've grown and learned a lot about myself. The greatest thing is being able to interact with fans and touch people's lives... for that I give thanks.
When success comes, people can try to trick you or take advantage of you.
I really don't spend any time on the Internet, so I guess I live a little under a rock in that respect.
It's important to take time for your spouse and nurture the relationship.
I'm at peace.
I'm experimental by nature... always exploring my creativity.
Pop is actually my least favorite kind of music, because it lacks real depth.
For me the visual is just as important as the music.
You used to have to sing and convey emotion, and now, well, technically you can do anything with technology. It sucks for music today, but that's why that old music feels so good to me.
So, where's the Cannes Film Festival being held this year?
My body can't put anyone in jeopardy of not making money anymore - my body is just not on the table that way anymore.
I remember watching the Grammys and looking at the performances and crying to my mom, saying how much I wanted to be there.
Thankfully, I have my mom and a small group of close friends who are there for me 24/7 and whom I can trust and depend on.
My mom brought me up to believe that my talent is a gift and a blessing.
I love theatrics and have a huge imagination: Why would I want to sit onstage and sing a bunch of ballads back-to-back?
I was brought up in a household of chaos and I never felt stable at home.
