It was quite overwhelming for me to have all this attention. It's fun, but I really needed time to focus on my concerts.

The first time we met was at the rehearsal. We spoke forever about everything - about life, about what we were doing.

Music means everything to me. Of course I enjoy making a beautiful photo for a new CD. That's part of it. But if people are open, then they should listen to the music.

After the concert, people said it was almost too intimate to watch us play.

Now is the time to focus the public's attention on the nomination and what it means for the future of our country. The TV advertising data shows that both sides see high stakes in the confirmation of a replacement for Justice O'Connor.

Perseverance does not equal worthiness. Next time you want to get my attention, wear something fun. Low-riding jeans are hot.
