I know I’m stronger in the songs than I really am. Sometimes I need to hear it myself. We all need to hear those empowering songs to remind us.

I lost most of my weight from breastfeeding and I encourage women to do it; It’s just so good for the baby and good for yourself.

I love a pair of sexy heels with jeans, a nice jacket, or a little dress.

I love my husband, but it is nothing like a conversation with a woman that understands you. I grow so much from those conversations.

I love my job, but it’s more than that: I need it.

I think it’s healthy for a person to be nervous. It means you care – that you work hard and want to give a great performance. You just have to channel that nervous energy into the show.

I truly believe that women should be financially independent from their men. And let’s face it, money gives men the power to run the show. It gives men the power to define value. They define what’s sexy. And men define what’s feminine. It’s ridiculous.

I wanted to sell a million records, and I sold a million records. I wanted to go platinum; I went platinum. I’ve been working nonstop since I was 15. I don’t even know how to chill out.

I was so shy and when my sister was born I found it hard. I was really strange and kind of too quiet.

I work closely with a number of charities from food pantries to drug rehabilitation to natural disaster relief to preventing sexual exploitation of young girls. It is one of the most rewarding things I do.
