I love making music and I'm falling in love with making records, so it's like having two girlfriends. But I can handle it.

I've got a vibe going on with a lot of what I've been doing, and to completely change it based off of me having a child might be a little confusing. I'm sure as my life goes forward, and she starts growing up, there will be a lot more things to include in my music. But, at this point, I'm just sticking to what I do.

Being a mother, singer and actress is a definite juggling act, but I don't think I would be comfortable any other way.

When I'm recording my album, I want to be acting, or when I'm on set, I want to be making music. I guess we'll see how it turns out and which one overpowers the other... but I couldn't really see my life without them, both of them.

I'm not a girl who started getting into music and using my femininity to get attention. When I was getting into it, it was all pure skill.

People said, 'How could you walk away from music?' But being a dad - there's nothing that can touch that.

I think the hardest thing about making music now is being a great dad at the same time. There's an insanity that goes with writing - a mad scientist thing that you have to go through - and sacrificing a kid's upbringing to do that is not an option.

My advice is if you have to do music, then do it! There's no choice in your heart and your soul - unless you have that kind of great need, desire and determination, it's pretty tough out there!

One thing I am certain of is that, if I have done anything good in music, it was, first, because of my father, and second, because of my wife.

If you get involved in music expecting to make a living out of it, then you've picked the wrong thing to do. That shouldn't really be in your mind.
