I dedicated almost 12 years to the music industry before having children.

Some things make me emotional in a good way. When my son does well in school, I get real emotional because that's a testament to what I'm feeding him at home on a daily basis as far as knowledge goes. I wasn't so emotional until I had my first son.

I find the positive in the negative all the time. Any time you give something power, it wins, and it can continuously happen, so I just let negative people know they have no place in my life. They have no place around my children.

My first priority is my children. If at any moment I put aside something that I want to do to be a better parent than that is more than okay for me.
