It's hard being such a powerful woman in the business. I'm known for not always being warm and fuzzy, because you'll just get bulldozed over.

I have more than one side of me that likes to get out on a stage and sing.

I try to stay focused on my creativity.

It's a big responsibility to help someone express themselves as an artist.

I'm embracing many different things, but it's all feel-good.

I'm not one that just throws music out there to keep it coming, and all that. I believe in the craft, and the time it takes to really nurture something and put a lot of effort into the details.

All I want to do is be normal. But really, it's other people who won't let me be that way.
