What I hope the most is to be more successful as a mother than in show business, because to be a mother is the most difficult I will ever have to do.
This is the season for families. Hold yours close.
I definitely would never go back to my 20s. The best is yet to come.
I love to sing and perform. It is what I do and love. It completes my life.
My kids give me the balance to live right.
I looked in the audience. There were no strangers. Everybody was singing and cheering and hugging. That was a beautiful picture to look at.
I started at 5 years old in the kitchen table with my family supporting me. I know where I'm from and I know exactly where I'm going.
I don't just sing for free. It's my work. You're paid for what you do. And I work hard.
I don't know if the camera likes me, but I do like the camera.
There's been nothing but discipline, discipline, discipline all my life.
Everything that I decide to do means something, otherwise I don't do them.
Like everyone else in the world, I've been devastated by the loss and suffering of so many in South Asia....As a mother, I cannot imagine the pain that they are experiencing. We can all see that it's going to take a long time for those people to rebuild their lives, and they will need our help for years to come.
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.
Near, far wherever you are...you're here in my heart.
