You can never go back to the first two albums in a career.
Grammys, American Music Awards, successful albums, I'd pick my kids any day over any of it.
Although becoming a singer was my plan A after first hearing Whitney Houston when I was 17, I started off with plan B by going to the teacher-training college that my dad went to. It was a slow coming of age.
But I don't want to be out there anymore; I don't want people asking me about my health issues, about my kids. I choose not to be a public paparazzi girl on purpose.
I had a 23 per cent blockage in my micro-arteries. At first the doctors thought I needed a heart transplant, then they said I have microvascular angina, which means I will be on medication for the rest of my life.
I'd lose my mind if I heard my kid call the nanny Mommy
I'm a businesswoman who's serious about her money. I want an empire
Cause you mean the world to me, you are my everything; I swear the only thing that matters, matters to me...
I was a 10 million-plus selling artist
I do have height envy. I'm 5'1 and my sisters are giants so I do have height envy.
I can live a totally normal life and do everything I want to do just as long as I take my medication. My body will give me signals if it gets weak or fatigued, so I know when I need to take a break.
Dating is different when you get older. You're not as trusting, or as eager to get back out there and expose yourself to someone.
How could an Angel break my heart? Why didn't he catch my falling star? I wish I didn't wish so hard. Maybe I wished our love apart.
To do what you love can sometimes be stressful.
