“ I was not a good-lookin' girl. I was extremely skinny. I wasn't pretty. I wasn't cool. ”

“ There's no such thing is aging, but maturing and knowledge. It's beautiful, I call that beauty. ”

“ Some people can't stand being alone. I love solitude and silence. But when I come out of it, I'm a regular talking machine. It's all or nothing for me. ”

“ I have shared my whole life. My private and my show business life. It helps me actually to feel my songs and to go on with my dreams. ”

“ My kids give me the balance to live right. ”

“ I've never been cool - and I don't care. ”

“ I want to be more successful as a mother than I am in show business. ”

“ The hardest thing to find in life is balance - especially the more success you have, the more you look to the other side of the gate. What do I need to stay grounded, in touch, in love, connected, emotionally balanced? Look within yourself. ”
