(edit)
Sheryl: (on what she would like to perform with Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham) I'd love to do The Chain and Second Hand News. There's so many great songs that I absolutely love, and just to get to sing harmonies on them is going to be a thrill.(edit)
Sheryl: (on working with Fleetwood Mac) We definitely have plans for collaborating in the future, and we'll see what happens.(edit)
Sheryl: (revealing her adoption of a baby boy on her website in May 2007) I am so excited to share with you guys that I've adopted a little boy ... he was born two weeks ago. His name is Wyatt (after my dad) Steven (after my little brother ...) and we are enjoying some very private family time.(edit)
Sheryl: (trying to raise awareness about climate change) I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting. Now, I don't want to rob any law-abiding American of his or her God-given rights, but I think we are an industrious enough people that we can make it work with only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where two to three could be required.(edit)

Sheryl: (on war) I think war is based in greed and there are huge karmic retributions that will follow. I think war is never the answer to solving any problems. The best way to solve problems is to not have enemies.(edit)
Sheryl: (on being in a relationship with athletic super-star Lance Armstrong) It's a challenge to be the less visible of the two when you're used to being visible.(edit)
