She shared the hardest part of being an American Idol judge...

"Probably being a woman and having a strong opinion."

And the most rewarding part of being an American Idol judge.

"People able to help people find their spark inside of them, their purpose."

She also shared some of her favorite memories from working with her fellow judges, Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie.

"May be going home with me."
