I don't think of myself as a feminist, but if someone calls me a feminist icon, that's fine. I've always stood up for women and myself in general. I have a great love and respect, because I have had beautiful sisters, aunts and my grandmas, but I love men. I totally understand the nature of men.

Find out what you are, then do it on purpose

I don't think of myself as a feminist, but if someone calls me a feminist icon, that's fine. I've always stood up for women and myself in general. I have a great love and respect, because I have had beautiful sisters, aunts and my grandmas, but I love men. I totally understand the nature of men.

I've always wanted to be a star. I've always wanted money and wanted to travel. So I knew there was a price to pay for that.

I've been guilty of most of the stuff that's been said about me to some degree. And if I ain't done it, I probably will.

I've never let a rhinestone go unturned

Sometimes I start with a great title or idea, sometimes a great melody will run through my mind; but the higher percentage of the time, the words and music pretty much come at the same time.
