You want your fans to like what you do, because it's coming from your heart and soul. You write it, you produce this thing. It's like your baby.

When I went to do Carson that night, they wanted us to do two songs, but we were a brand new band. Conga hadn't even hit the top 10 yet. They go, Do you think you could do something that people know, because we want you to do a second song, but not two originals, because we don't want to lose the audience, just in case.

Everybody's not as fortunate as I've been that can have their hubby with them on the road, that we can do whatever we want and mainly be honest with the kids. Just the time that you do give them, make it be great time. It doesn't have to be hours.
