I'd hate to have to leave music, but if I got stuck some place, I would.

I'm obviously really opinionated, but as a producer, you don't necessarily want the person you're working with to try to impress you - you want them to just be themselves. Then you can edit or mess around with what they've come up with. But you have to allow the artist that space.

Some people have been listening to the Beatles their whole lives; I didn't discover them until I was 18 years old.

Daft Punk wouldn't have normally fit into anything that was pop on the radio, but they just did it.

Being in the public eye, I struggle to create and maintain romantic relationships. I am constantly faced with assumptions about who my significant other is, and it seems that there is always some speculation about my relationship status.

It's very different than it use to be. I think everybody has a lot more experience in how to be in a relationship - whether it's a marriage or a significant other or a business or a friend.

When I look back at the pictures of our blended family the day Vince and I married, he and I are smiling, and all the children are frowning.

I'm working at trying to be a Christian, and that's serious business. It's like trying to be a good Jew, a good Muslim, a good Buddhist, a good Shintoist, a good Zoroastrian, a good friend, a good lover, a good mother, a good buddy - it's serious business.
