To me the biggest irony of this lifetime that I'm living is that for someone who thrives in the public eye in the creative ways that I do, I actually don't enjoy being in the public eye.

I live with some of my best friends from high school, very commune-like, in my house. It's my hippie way of life.

I'm quite obsessed with the idea of nailing the girl friendship. It's such an art, so delicate.

I try to keep a low profile in general. Not with my art, but just as a person.

Society, magazines, posters, music videos, investment bankers. A lot of times, in my past anyway, looking within wasn't overly encouraged. Pretty much everybody proclaimed that fame would give me power and fortune.

I sabotage myself for fear of what my bigness could do.

I didn't want to be one of those women who wake up at 63 years old and realize they've missed the window of opportunity for marriage and children.
