I'm a hard worker and I really give to my fans through my shows.
I'm not really religious but very spiritual. I give money to this company that manufactures hearing aids on a regular basis. More people should really hear me sing. I have a gift from God.
When I first met my husband, I needed that helping hand to take the reins and look after me.
I've been through my highs, I've been through my lows; I've been through the gamut of all things in this business. Being too thin. Being bigger. I've been criticized for being on both sides of the scale. It's noise I block out automatically. I love my body.
It's always nerve-wracking when you're hosting 'Saturday Night Live.' You either sink or swim.
Blues and soul and jazz music has so much pain, so much beauty of raw emotion and passion.
There was no way in hell I was going to jeopardize my baby for my show.
My body can't put anyone in jeopardy of not making money anymore - my body is just not on the table that way anymore.
I'm not a judgmental person, so I can't comment on someone else's background.
After I had my son, Max, I knew I wanted to get involved in causes that help children.
I'm a big micro manager; I'm a stickler about organisation; everything needs a place, a purpose, and micro managing myself even when I'm in the studio.
Mormons aren't gonna buy my album but, you know, what are you gonna do?
I definitely love women. They are more attractive to the naked eye.
I turned to music originally because of my past and needing a release or an outlet to get out anger or frustration or hurt.
I do reinvent old hits of mine and sort of give them a new life.
You used to have to sing and convey emotion, and now, well, technically you can do anything with technology. It sucks for music today, but that's why that old music feels so good to me.
I'm a bit of a night owl because that's when I feel the most creative and alive.
Everybody needs that one person that takes you to the right place to see all the positives in your life.
Toward the end of my pregnancy, I felt really big - I gained about 40 pounds, which is a lot for my size.
I'm very protective of how much I let people see.
