I enjoy multi-tasking, so I want to do a lot of different things. I want to keep all the plates spinning.

If people like your music, you can't guarantee they're going to love you.

I only want to make music because I have a passion for it.

We're not interested to know the real heroes. We're really more interested in the villains, actually, and they seem to thrive, and it continues to be business as usual.

I have different hats; I'm a mother, I'm a woman, I'm a human being, I'm an artist and hopefully I'm an advocate. All of those plates are things I spin all the time.

I understand what it is for a woman to want to protect their children and give them the best they can.

A lot of music you might listen to is pretty vapid, it doesn't always deal with our deeper issues. These are the things I'm interested in now, particularly at my age.
