Being a singer is all about me. About ego. Being a mom is all about being selfless - two different worlds.

I love being a mom. I love singing. Why can't you have both? A lot of people would say you can't, but I think you can balance it; if you work hard, and you plan everything out properly, it works.

I love music, so if I wasn't singing, I would probably still be working in the music industry. I love songwriting, so I'd probably be a songwriter.

So don't think in reality I am a singer, I think I am a human being that has sung always all her life, and has learned a little to sing, and has found herself in the middle of a career.

When you're a parent, you sing better. It becomes a pure pleasure, rather than something I have to do.

My singing is really important to me, but when children come along they'll be my main focus. I'd never put my career in front of my babies - it'd be a case of fitting jobs around them.

The only thing better than singing is more singing.

I definitely don't see myself as much of a singer, because my upbringing is really based around the guitar, learning chord progressions and that sort of thing. So the singing aspect of what I do has been a secondary adventure.

Paris Singer had vastly more to do with shaping my character than Mother had; although Mother made innumerable sacrifices for me, and Paris Singer made none. I wanted to be like him.
