What makes you so lavish that you can afford to spend every sober moment feeling angry and bored?

Art is why I get up in the morning, but my definition ends there.

As any mom knows, having a baby is an extremely creative act and to love and create a baby, it's on par with any other creative act that we could come up with.

I turned my pain into art and my hard work into a career. Helping myself has helped others. helping others has helped me.

I don't hate being compared with female musicians. I don't mind that at all. I have no problem with seeing connections between women's work.

I noticed with older songs that I perform that I'm coming from a different place with them now...it mutates the vibe and even the meaning of the same words when you have a different spirit, if the person singing is different. I like that, to be able to sing an emotionally wrought song from a more centered place, or to sing an eager, youthful song from a more experienced place. It kind of colors the songs differently, and it keeps them fresh.

While out in TV Nation, under darkening skies, the resistance is just waiting to be organized.
