I know I can be diva-ish sometimes, but I have to be in control. The nature of my life, the nature of what I do, is divadom, it really is.

We have to go through certain things in order to appreciate life and learn lessons, I'm just in a really good, comfortable, happy place.

If critics have problems with my personal life, it's their problem. Anybody with half a brain would realize that it's the charts that count.

I'm not one of those people that goes into details of my personal life on national TV to get attention. Some things are better left unsaid.
