There is one thing I should say, and it's important: Young Broadway singers and anybody who is an orator of any kind - lawyers who have to speak in court or pastors or anyone who has a lot of stress on their vocal cords: You should do the maintenance. You should do whatever it takes to feel fresh and good.

I love to prune my roses. That's the one thing I really feel I do pretty well. Other things I usually, because I travel so much, leave to my gardeners who know what I love. But I do love to prune them, because you forget everything else. It's like if you're a painter, you can forget everything else while you're doing it.

I think I may have failed at a lot of things, but the one thing I can say, and that I'm proud of, is that I am a good parent.

And singing is a physical thing - your vocal cords are these muscles.

The very important thing you should have is patience.

If there's one thing any mom should have for fall, it's a peplum top.
