I've had an amazing professional life, personal life, but at 64 to have a son who gives us that much love and enjoyment is, wow!

I am so in the past. I'm such a Luddite when it comes to making music. All I can do is write at the piano.

When your persona begins to take over your music and becomes more important, you enter a dangerous place. Once you have people around you who don't question you, you're in a dangerous place.

People with HIV are still stigmatized. The infection rates are going up. People are dying. The political response is appalling. The sadness of it, the waste.

If you look at 'Gnomeo & Juliet,' the movie's message essentially says it doesn't matter if you're a 'red' or a 'blue': at the end of the day, parents should love their children and want what's best for them.

I've played a mother before, but it's always been a very young child, which is closer to what I can imagine my own life looking like.

Every mother and daughter should make time for a trip together. It's good for the soul.

My grandmother had mango trees in her backyard when I was a child. So it's always been an ingredient that I'm familiar with. It can be used in so many ways. My kids absolutely love it for a snack or in a savory dish.
