My mom was paranoid about my safety.

My mom she wasn't like a baseball mother who knew everything about the game. She just wanted me to be happy with what I was doing.

I was worried about my mom more than I was worried about the president. And then I was worried about the president and then I was worried about myself.

So far I'm not surprised by anything about being a mom. It's all pretty great - but that's what I expected.

After my mom died there was so much written about her fashion and her style and all that and I felt that one of the most important parts of her was missing her real intellectual curiosity.

Every time I think I have something under control it changes and I don't have it under control. I think it takes several years to get there. Jade is 19 months old so right now I'm on alert all the time. And as a mom I think you're constantly worrying about things.

Even in high school I'd tell my mom I was sick of swimming and wanted to try to play golf. She wasn't too happy. She'd say 'Think about this.' And I'd always end up getting back in the pool.

Being a singer is all about me. About ego. Being a mom is all about being selfless - two different worlds.

I just go about my life. I'm a mom I drive an SUV I go to the grocery store every day. I'm definitely not a celebrity. I always say that I'm a celebrity-adjacent.

The best situation is being a single parent. The best part about is that you get time off too because the kids are with their mom so it's the best of both worlds. There's a lot to be said for it.
