I had trouble getting jeans when I was growing up. I had little skinny legs and this booty that came out of nowhere.

Writing is the best way to get your mind clear. It's also a great way to explain your past or what you hope for the future.

I obviously want a safe world for everybody if we're getting really deep, but my safe and happy place is always going to be music.

I wouldn't say I'm a rebel, but I do like pushing the limits sometimes.

The single best thing is, family comes first. Over everything. I can't think of anything that has been more pervasive and played a larger part in my life than that simple lesson.

I have a deep tribal sense. I grew up in a synagogue that my ancestors built. I sat in the third row. My family was decent. They were good people; they were handshake people. So I never had a sense of rebellion.

When I got pregnant, I started singing again. It was my saving grace. I literally mean having this amazing human life, and our relationship in the sense of mother and child, redeemed my soul.

Happy is said to be the family which can eat onions together. They are, for the time being, separate, from the world, and have a harmony of aspiration.
