I'm a songwriter first...In my career I have never felt that my being a woman was an obstacle or an advantage. I guess I've been oblivious...Sensitive, humbug. Everybody thinks I'm sensitive...There is a downside to having one of the biggest-selling albums ever.

You make me feel like a natural man

When I was younger, I was kind of fearless. I think it takes more courage to do things when you know more. I was completely naive, and I was like, why can't I do anything I want to do? You know, go for it.

Now my tapestry's unraveling.

It's a very worthy cause. This should happen, and I do believe that tenacity counts. Not going away matters.

I used to hate the sound of my voice.

Do the things you believe in, in the name of love. And know that, you aren't alone. We all have doubts and fears.
