I can’t record in the morning because I sound like Barry White.

I know for works for me – those wonderful sad love songs.

Grammys, American Music Awards, successful albums, I’d pick my kids any day over any of it.

I was a 10 million-plus selling artist.

If I’m uncomfortable, you’d never know.

To do what you love can sometimes be stressful.

Performing live is the greatest high in the world. That’s why I do what I do.

Like Scarlett O’Hara, I won’t be broke again.

I’d lose my mind if I heard my kid call the nanny Mommy.

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

I’ll probably be 80 years old and still performing. Music is like fashion, it changes. But some things will always be the same.

I am fed up with men who use sex like a sleeping pill.

I’m a businesswoman who’s serious about her money. I want an empire.

I’m not a diva. I’m a tadpole trying to be a frog.

I can’t record in the morning because I sound like Barry White.

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