At the end of the day, I mean, I love my father, but I was always a mama's girl growing up. I'm from the South, so there's always something about me when I'm just with my girls or even my mother. There's just a strong connection there.

I guess it's because I do have a younger audience that, you know, parents worry about the role model thing. But when I was younger, I looked up to people, but I never wanted to be them. I always had my own identity. I'm an entertainer when I'm on stage, and they need to explain that to their kids. That's not my job to do that.

England is one of my favorite places. The fans are just so crazy.

Vegas is definitely a new challenge, but I wanted to be able to put on a different type of show. You get to do so much more when you don't have to put your stage in trucks after the show every night - we got to build a venue specifically for my show. It's going to be more like a party than a typical concert.

OK, I've made a preposterous amount of money. But I was born with the attributes needed to do it.

Open your mouth and purse cautiously, and your stock of wealth and reputation shall, at least in repute, be great.

I have never been motivated by money in my life. You can't make choices based on what the financial return might be.

If someone paid me a million dollars to drink a glass of milk, I wouldn't do it; maybe that's because I don't need the money.
