I just want to show off my scar proudly and not be afraid of it.

So many artists who came out during that time, including myself, were able to get on radio. New forms of singer-songwriters developed out of that.

I've always thought of myself as being a warrior. When you actually have a battle, it's better than when you don't know who to fight.

I used the physical scar of my breast cancer operation, the scar that I have across my chest as a metaphor for all kinds of scars.

I had this terrible stammer, so I couldn't really speak properly until I was 16 or 17.

We went to see all the shows. American musical theater and jazz were very big.
