Applause felt like approval, and it became a drug that soothed the pain, but only temporarily.
I used to sing at funeral homes for families that didn't have a vocalist. I didn't get paid. I needed to sing.
I would say that my peak was making my first million at the ripe age of 29, after the first album.
I'm used to getting up at 7, getting breakfast, getting the kids off to school, and doing the mommy thing and the wife thing and the daughter thing.
Typically, the theme of my albums, if there is a theme, is, 'How does it feel?' And that always leads to love songs. It just does.
If I could be doing anything, I'd be laying on the floor in my birthday suit eating junk food and watching something dumb on TV.
