How can one be a woman and not be a feminist? That's my question.

We probably, as primitive people, made music before we actually had a language, and that's where language comes from.

Christina Aguilera is an incredible musician and singer.

I get myself a gig somewhere, whether it's in a club, whether it's in a bar, it doesn't matter, and I just work on New Year's Eve because I always feel it's very symbolic for me for the next year, for the new year.

I really, really like writing songs. Capote wrote every day. He said that's the only way, you have to sit down every day and do it...Something that's written out is okay, but it's not always a clear indication of what a person means.

Working as a solo artist has given me a confidence that I didn't have with Blondie.

Lately I've been believing that music predates speech.
