I get nervous when I don’t get nervous. If I’m nervous I know I’m going to have a good show.
I’m always thinking about women, and what we need to hear. It’s difficult being a woman. It’s so much pressure, and we need that support sometimes and we need that escape sometimes.
Independnce comes from you knowing who you are and you being happy with yourself.
Being pregnant was very much like falling in love. You are so open. You are so overjoyed. There’s no words that can express having a baby growing inside of you so, of course, you want to scream it out and tell everyone.
It is the most powerful creation to have life growing inside of you. There is no bigger gift.

Just because you become a mother, it doesn’t mean you lose who you are.
I don’t use backing tapes when I am singing and dancing on stage. I can do cartwheels and sing.
Everyone’s not good at everything, it’s ok to depend on someone.
I love the Backstreet Boys! I think they’re very talented and I think their harmony is wonderful.
To me it’s sexier when it doesn’t look like you go to the gym. I feel best when I’m not really thin and not really heavy – when I’m still curvy.
You have to have something that is forever, something that is invisible.
I never imagined I would be in a film with Steve Martin. I was a little star struck, because I grew up watching his movies.
Have your own life before you become somebody’s wife.
My parents taught my sister and me the importance of giving back and making a difference in another person’s life.
