I was a shy kid with a broom handle that I pretended was a microphone.

You don't have to be an angel, just be someone who can give.

All I can tell you really is if you get to the point where someone is telling you that you are not great or not good enough, just follow your heart and don't let anybody crush your dream.

Women are strong now. Women are dominating the charts, and women are doing it for themselves. We're kicking butt and taking no prisoners.

I love Canadians because I don't see very much racism in Canada.

I have to go 150 percent or nothing at all.

People with no humor, they're outta my life.

So if diva means giving your best, then yes, I guess I am a diva.

I like hip-hop music, but some of the lyrics make me want to cry.

I don't feel as though I have to prove anything to anybody.

I want to be remembered as a woman who was fair and always gave 150 percent, no matter what I did.

I'm still standing up there tall and strong every night that I perform.

I decided to always sing in the back with the chorus and never went up front because I had trouble performing.

When I was married, I wasn't loving myself. Now I'm in love with myself. I will get married again.

I know how to put it on when it comes to interviews and performing because I have to. But I'm pretty laid back.

I clean my house, although I have help. I'm on the floor getting spots. I can't stand a dirty house. I'm a cleaning fanatic.
