When I act, I act. When I sing, I sing. I don't put one over the other. Entertaining is what I do best.

This has been a long and tiring battle for 10 years. And I'm glad it's finally resolved. My principles and reputation as a creative artist were involved here-it wasn't just about the royalties. I can now look foward to getting on with my career.

I haven't had a vacation in years. I'd really like to sneak off and just run around on a beach for a while.

That first apartment was a big step. It has a lot to do with being independent.

Take your passion and make it happen.

Here I found myself in my early 20s, at the height of my career, up against something I was totally powerless against. I had enemies I had never heard of because of this. I certainly didn't have needles hanging out of my arms, nor did I smoke anything.

I've had my bubblegum years and I did them well. Now it's time to come back as the woman, artist, and musician that I am without apologizing.
