I was probably never going to get to do the kind of things dramatically that I really wanted to do, so I returned to theater from time to time, and to write, and produce. It's by no means sour grapes.

I grew up listening to music and going to the theatre.

After 12 intense years of rock music, I was happy to get away from making a record and going out on a tour. When I did it, I wanted to feel inspired. After a while I finally had my fill working on other people's music, and I started coming up with music on my own and said, 'This could be for me.'

I did a lot of musical theatre when I was younger, so I would love to go back and do that again someday.

I grew up doing theater and music, and in fact, I spent more time doing theater, and I'd do music when I could.

My whole life was writing, recording and touring over and over again. At some point I realised I wasn't enjoying myself any more.

I was convinced that I was going to be onstage for the rest of my life.

I had spent my entire career not wanting to talk about weight, not wanting to deal with it, wanting to be an actor first.

After my tour I had time to stay at home, be with my boyfriend and hang out with friends and that brought me down to earth and helped me write music from a more relaxed place.

Eating well was something I learned as I started to be successful and had to travel and perform concerts, which are an intense cardio workout.
