Well, honey, I had the million dollar houses, I had the car, I had the horse, I had the barn; I had everything. Was I set free? I didn't even know what that meant.

My tastes and inspirational artists were always rather eclectic and diverse.

I have to be very careful about diet and exercise.

And I'm also looking for a comeback record and it has to touch a lot of people.

I've had enough boyfriends and enough issues. I'd seen enough train wrecks.

I came out the box and for seven years I had a huge career. And then it's done, it's dumped. But I ain't gone, and I refuse to be gone.

I smoked some pot as a kid, but I just never did drugs.

By the second tour I had rice cakes and hummus with me, and I was jumping rope in my room.

All you needed back then was a blow dryer and a dream.

But once you strip that down, you realize it's all about a voice, like a Norah Jones - that's inspiring to me.

Did people think I sounded black? Totally, but that was a marketing tool as well, but also this is how I grew up and these are my influences.

My current mantra is that sometimes we need teachers in our lives. I never had that in my life, parents and stuff like that; I tried to stay on the outside of them or anybody that had that kind of influence.

If anything changes shape or takes off without me, I'll come after you and kill you. I'm too type A.

If we were truly in the studio making a record, it would have been more time consuming, and certainly I would have been more involved in the writing process.

That's really my goal now. I'm trying to be a positive role model to my kids and to just enjoy this ride, because it's hard. It's hard to enjoy it when you're in it.

Ive had enough boyfriends and enough issues. Id seen enough train wrecks.

SO WHEN I'M WORKING OUT I DO THINGS EXTREME.

I love Nautilus and stretching. The results are immediate, and that gives me the motivation to continue.

Plan Colombia was supposed to reduce Colombia's cultivation and distribution of drugs by 50 percent, but 6 years and $4.7 billion later, the drug control results are meager at best.
