I've always done things myself. I've never bragged or screamed that I produced a record before. I never told anybody.

We're always going to remind ourselves of our mistakes and how we do things differently, trying to be a better person or whatever.

I don't come from money or an educated family background or any sort of supportive family life, so all of my choices are made on my own.

I moved to Los Angeles to be with a man I loved.

I got more guts than brains, and that's my problem.

I got told so many times I needed a manager. For a long time I resisted, and I finally got one so I can pay my mortgage, and it helped me from becoming a homeless person.

People tend to think I'm insane, and I'm really tired of it.
