There's this weird sh*t that happens when you become a mom that you just unleash or unlock other parts of your superpower. You feel like you can take on or you could do anything."

She continued, "I wanted to take on the challenge and I wanted to do something that would force me to get back onstage. Because when you're a mom, it's not important — really. Everything is at the bottom of the priority list. But I'm a performer and I love it."

On who may appear during her halftime show, she said, "I'm not telling you anything. Lips are sealed. You want to know why? Because I haven't even decided."

"Sometimes we want to blame someone or something for a loss, but the truth is that addiction and mental illness is the real villain here. I will miss my brother more than anyone will ever know. I love you Chizz. Now you can finally have the peace you could never find here on earth….I love you baby brother."
