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.

I'm passionate about my fans and my shows. But my biggest reward in the success that is my life are my husband and kids.

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

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

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

My kids give me the balance to live right.

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.

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