Stop living a day at a time and stop worrying about age.

Sometimes it seems like you and me against the world.

I always believed that I could make it or I would never have spent so many years trying to get here.

Believe it or not, most people think of me as a recording artist, but actually the way I think of myself and the way I earn my living is as a performing artist.

I wanted control over the merchandising, the actual packaging of the product. That was a big factor. The only way for me to exercise control on all those levels was to start my own label.

I am strong, I am invincible, I am woman.

To this day I get mail from women who say, I went to law school because of your song. But I would hate to think out of the wide spectrum of things I have done in my career, that's all I would be remembered for.
