I can be a rock star with a television show and still have a self-esteem problem. So it's nice to have your dad go, 'Hey Melissa, I'm proud of you - you're doing good.'
My kids and I love to listen to Bill Cosby.
The subject and the reality of having children came at the height of my career.
My friends have always told me that rock stardom was wasted on me.
I've been a rock star since you were very young. But I've never encountered anything as powerful as cancer.
I would never say I had a bad childhood at all.
I have found that I'm just political just by being who I am.
I think I've been on a path ever since I was born, a path of high stress. I put myself, my career, it was a big old juicy carrot right in front of me for all of my life.
