I don't have anything to hide but what happens is the media tend to beat up what I say.

I'm not just another bimbo.

It's amazing how a truly great songwriter can touch anyone in the world with their words.

The most vulnerable people have tough exteriors because they are very scared inside, and it's very hard for people like that - people like me - to open up. But playing it safe means you stop being open to learning. I always try to find the challenges.

I’m sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn’t do, and I’ve hurt myself by hurting you.

I was very pushed to look a certain way and act a certain way, and it wasn't me, but I played by their rules to get my foot in the door.

I still have my eyes on the prize: I want to be that old lady onstage shaking her hips and singing her greatest hits.
