It's not fair to compare one artist to another because they all come with their own sort of elements to the picnic, you know.

I wouldn't have known when I was a teenager that when I was coming up to being a sixty-year-old woman that I'd be making music, I'd be recording music, talking about music, and incorporating my views on the world into the music-making. So it's a very rarefied place to be, and I'm very grateful for that.

I watch 'Mad Men,' I knit scarves, I cook and am very, very normal. Honestly.

I chose a career in obstetrics and gynecology because there's something about honoring women, honoring the birth process. We all come from women, and there's something extraordinary about the mothers who raised us.

Twerking is not feminism. Thats what I’m referring to. It’s not — it’s not liberating, it’s not empowering. It’s a sexual thing that you’re doing on a stage; it doesn’t empower you. That’s my feeling about it.

There are two kinds of artists left: those who endorse Pepsi and those who simply won't.

Fame for fame's sake is toxic - some people want that, with no boundaries. It's unhealthy.
