You don't argue with a four-year old about why he shouldn't eat candy for dinner. You don't punch a mentally handicapped guy even if he punches you first.

It's very important that an artist's job is to be a great artist.
I don't know why this concept of what is hip became so important to me.

I don't feel like I'm a perfect mom, and then there are times at work where I feel like maybe I wasn't perfect here because of constraints on my time.

My life is my music, so how can I stop? I put 100 percent into my career. I keep this flow going, and that's important.

The conservative movement is about government playing its important yet limited role, and about not falling into the trap of believing that every problem has an exclusive government answer for it.
