I don't know. Only God knows where the story ends for me, but I know where the story begins. It's up to us to choose, whether we win or lose and I choose to win. ↗

I don't think there's anything they can say about me that I haven't said about myself already. And I would be an absolute total liar, and my fans would not respect me, if I said that my life and my marriage are perfect. But we absolutely love each other; we have fun together - it's great. ↗

I wish I had an extra day with my mom sometimes. Or another hour in the day with my family, husband and children. ↗

I wouldn't adopt, but what I will do is give my time and go and try to be there for people. ↗

'My Life' is not an autobiography. It's just music. ↗

'My Life' is soft, with notes of pear and gardenia, but still bold, with a woody base. ↗
