"And I am very protective. I just want to make sure that she can have a healthy, safe, normal life," she said. "In the back of my mind, she's my priority. And life is completely different now. So I'm -- I feel really, really just lucky that I can still do what I love, and now have a way bigger meaning. And that's to be her mother."

The Grammy Award winner also talked about how appearing in the upcoming animated movie Epic had special meaning because she was pregnant at the time. "You know, I was so honored when they asked for me to do this role... and I thought, you know, by the time this comes out my daughter will understand it's my voice, and what an incredible, cool point."
