I am a survivor and not a victim. Life isn't perfect. When you get a knock, you have to get up, dust yourself down and get on with it.
I've had my share of doing things that I really wish I hadn't done.
People don't always have the vision, and the secret for the person with the vision is to stand up. It takes a lot of courage.
When you have put all your faith in man and continue to be disappointed, don't you hope there is something out of there that is not of human element?
I don't think that my parents even imagined that I would be exposed to drugs. In those days, for some reason, it was not talked about, just like sex was not talked about.
People say I look younger than the music I'm doing just because the songs are older. Hopefully I can keep my youthful look!
I think foreign countries really do like it when American artists sing in their language. And when you go over there and say, 'Hi, how are you?' in their language, they love it. It makes them feel like you're doing it just for them. We in America take so much for granted.

I think it's very unlikely that we're going to see a trade war between the United States and Mexico because it's in nobody's interest to see a trade war.
My husband keeps me really honest.
