You know, equality is a myth, and for some reason, everyone accepts the fact that women don't make as much money as men do. I don't understand that. Why do we have to take a backseat?

This is such a pivotal moment in my life! I'm transitioning as a woman, and I'm finally able to express myself as I am.

I have nine Grammy Awards. I wouldn't have that if I couldn't sing.

One of the things that kept me out of trouble was doing something creative - creativity can't be judged.

I love my husband, but it is nothing like a conversation with a woman that understands you. I grow so much from those conversations.

My message behind this album was finding the beauty in imperfection.

It is so liberating to really know what I want, what truly makes me happy, what I will not tolerate. I have learned that it is no one else's job to take care of me but me.
