I happen to think singing is hilarious, especially when it pops out at the wrong time.

My songs are like my kids.

My weakness is 'American Idol.' My husband thinks it's ridiculous. But I am so inspired by those young people who are singing their guts out.

It's not that I don't love the song. My songs are like my children: some you want around and some you want to send off to college as soon as possible.

Actually I have been singing since I was a kid.

I like it when I can sing half of a verse and throw the mike in some kid's face, and they sing it right back to me.

I see too many celebrity kids who can't sing. If you don't have it, give it up, because people are brutal. I never want my kids to feel like they have to live up to what I've done.

These songs are old friends I have entertained myself with when I'm washing the dishes, driving to the store and walking down the aisles. The ones that you sing when you're driving in the car and as a singer you always go back to them.

A lot of pop music is about stealing pocket money from children.
