I think I can define my entire life, virtuosity and business philosophy down to the core fundamental that I absolutely hate being told what to do. But like any artist or any human being out there, I desperately want to be loved, and I spend my entire life trying to balance those two facts.

It is terrifying to people when women step up and start owning the story that they have not owned. And I'm seeing so much of this, and it is a seismic shift.

If you love people enough, they will give you everything.

There's nothing more threatening than a powerful woman, and there's nothing more threatening to the current order of things than women powerfully owning their own narrative. It's so threatening to people, to women as well, and it's threatening the order of things.

I want to be happy. i want to make people happy. i do not need to be rich to do that.

The challenge is to just focus on what's actually happening, focus on the people who get it, and focus on the people who are listening.

Thank God my best friend's a therapist.
