The men were all scumbags, but the whole point of the film is to show the development of that. Each guy is going in there to have a good time. By and large, these men are career men, family men, and you just see the deterioration of them.
Sometimes it takes some time out on your own to find your way back home.
Singing and being truthful to a song... I've developed that skill, and I know how to do that real instinctively, that's all I've been doing for the last 25 years.
I feel I am blessed that I have found my stride and relaxed into my life's purpose.
I've had enough boyfriends and enough issues. I'd seen enough train wrecks.
I think I was perceived in one fashion. A video is based on a song. I think you can get glimpses of people's presence within that. There's some people you enjoy watching more than others.
When I first came out, like a lot of the artists at that time, I had a very polished, very overproduced sound.
Love the woods and nature and the water and animals. Stop the BS with poaching and hunting. Preservation is critical.
And I'm also looking for a comeback record and it has to touch a lot of people.
That's really my goal now. I'm trying to be a positive role model to my kids and to just enjoy this ride, because it's hard. It's hard to enjoy it when you're in it.
But once you strip that down, you realize it's all about a voice, like a Norah Jones - that's inspiring to me.
Forget things and have a quiet moment.
I came out the box and for seven years I had a huge career. And then it's done, it's dumped. But I ain't gone, and I refuse to be gone.
I smoked some pot as a kid, but I just never did drugs.
I have always loved Ed Norton and Ryan Gosling. Also Julianne Moore and Cate Blanchett.
I don't always win at this, but I know I do better when I meditate.
By the second tour I had rice cakes and hummus with me, and I was jumping rope in my room.
I started working out with a trainer and I immediately saw results.
I have to be very careful about diet and exercise.
Emotional pain makes me want to isolate. Or hit back. It's very tough to rise above my natural inclinations. I'm always working on this.
To me, it was about finding new opportunities. I know my voice touches people. It has for years. I can't give that up.
My tastes and inspirational artists were always rather eclectic and diverse.
I just try to get out of my own way because if anyone is their own worst enemy, it's usually you.
I'm not looking to go out there and make a rhythmic Timbaland track.
My current mantra is that sometimes we need teachers in our lives. I never had that in my life, parents and stuff like that; I tried to stay on the outside of them or anybody that had that kind of influence.
