I have never been interested in specific roles.

I started my entire journey as an indie artist. Ownership has its benefits and it's just about putting in the work. I'm just working.

I know people like spectacle, but I'm interested in moving people.

I find that there are few reviews that extol women as wonderful artists.

I started writing an album on flights to Africa and Brazil, but it was crazy because I left the notebook on the plane. It had seven or eight songs in it. After that, I'm not writing any more songs on notebooks - and I keep my Blackberry close!

No one goes straight to happiness after a breakup.

You can't please everybody. I give up. I'm not trying to. I don't care. Leave me alone with that.
