Act as young as you feel. You're not getting older; you're getting more entitled to be your fabulous self.
After you make a fool of yourself a few hundred times, you learn what works.
This last year I kind of stopped working out. I think my body just needed a break. And so I did that, and focused more on feeling good as opposed to beating myself up.
I have learned to delegate.
I've been trying to do films for years. So I've decided to wait until the next good part comes along and develop a record on my own in the meantime.
I'm kind of lazy. I like to lie around with my husband and watch TV and stuff like that.
It takes a lot of selfish time to make music.
Out of all the artistic things I do, music is the most rewarding because it's so hard to write songs.
Born to blossom, bloom to perish
My mom and dad met at Anaheim High School. After they got married, all they wanted to do was have four children, and they did.
I have to be creative to be happy.
Being a mom is hard, I think a lot of working moms feel that way.
A miracle... my biggest accomplishment is my marriage so far. Because it's hard, everyone knows it's hard.
You can't plan anything, right? You can try.
Every day I fail at something.
I like to make my husband like me more, and he likes it when I'm wearing makeup.
I've always been a girl who loves to dress up.
Finding that balance between work and family is the hardest thing I've ever done - by far.
It's superfun being a mom, but it's hard too.
I remember so vividly the first song I ever wrote. It was called 'Different People.'
Although I'd always wanted children, it was such an opposite thing to being a singer.
I have to tell everyone everything that's going on. It is different once you're married, because that's sacred.
Every record that I've ever made, I listen to it so much before it comes out. As soon as it comes out, I never listen to it again. It's, like, over.
Music has this emotional thing to it, and it touches people in crazy ways. The power of having that power is something that, once you have it, you don't want it to ever end.
I'm neurotic about trying not to be neurotic!
I'm vain enough to want do a movie again.
The one thing that makes me feel super lucky about my financial success is that I have a housekeeper.
I'm really emotional. I don't fight with people - like, I can barely fight with my husband because I'll just start crying instead. I've learned not to do that.
And if I let myself down, appear on stage when I'm not looking my best, it's not fun for me. I just beat myself up about it.
I'd like to have no rules and eat what I want, but I've learned over the years that I'm so disappointed when I can't wear the clothes I want to wear.
