I've had the big ups and the big downs.

Our show doesn't rely on the typical whistles and bells, and smoke and mirrors. It relies mostly on the music.

In between that time, I've done book narrating, you know, books on tape for Dove Audio.

I'm not a toy boy, bellybutton band, so I don't have to worry about that. Actually, I never did.

There's also, I think more so in the music business and especially for women, this ceiling that people put on you if you have children or a family and decide to spend time with them.

But these days, I get a lot more attention and airplay from the Adult Contemporary and country radio stations, and I feel comfortable saying I'm a part of that.

And I think that we're more of an alternative act in that sense, and that flavor comes across to the audience.

And looking at today's music scene, I think it's cool that there are a lot of consumers and fans not limited by what radio and the record companies tell them to buy.

You can't live in the past, and I don't. I'm not nostalgic about my own work, at all.

Writing a book is the most difficult, anxiety-prone aspect of my life because the words that I put on paper are very serious to me.

Glamour is not self-conscious; it’s not trying really hard. It’s just expressing your own truth. I think that’s what the essence of glamour really is—expressing your uniqueness.

For me, the international expansion of eBay was the best idea. We are now in 35 countries, and have a huge global network. The second best one was the acquisition of PayPal - the wallet on eBay.

I exercise at least five times a week with stretching, Pilates, push-ups, planks, sit- ups, squats and light weights.
