It's Always Nerve-wracking When You're Hosting "saturday

My Emotions Overload Because There Is No Hand To Hold, There’s No Shoulder Here To Lean On; I’m Walking All On My Own.

I'm Always Nervous Before I Go On Stage, But Once I'm Out There Everything Is Great And It's My Favorite Place To Be.

I Was 21. At The Time, I Was Under The Thumb Of My Label, And I Felt Like I Had To Do, Say And Act Out Everything They Asked Me To Do. I Was Trying To Please Them And The Public And Finally I Had To Say, "enough. I'm Going To Make A Record That Makes Me Happy And Addresses All Facets Of Being A Woman. I Don't Care If I Sell One Or One Million Records." That's How I Came To Make Stripped.

I Was Brought Up In A Household Of Chaos And I Never Felt Stable At Home. At A Really Young Age, I Decided I Was Never Going To Feel Helpless, I Was Never Going To Feel Weak Around A Man, And I Was Never Going To Rely On Anyone. Independence Was A Big, Big Thing For Me.

You've Got To Make A Decision: Are You Going To Go Down With The Situation, Or Are You Going To Focus And Succeed? My Dream...kept Me Going.
