I don't like being under someone elses thumb. I'm very supportive of other female artists, especially those trying to make their own statement... trying to do what they want instead of being someone else's Barbie doll.

If something isn't working out in one aspect of my career, it's not any big neurotic, crazy phase for me, it's just something that I accept, and that's okay. I'm not going to keep banging my head against the wall.

I am very intense. I can't help it. That's the way I am. You can't be in this business without being intense. The pressure and tension get to you; it can't help but show on you.

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.

I'm a woman with a mission. I've learned to believe in myself, my vision and to do things the way I want them done.

I didn't have to go to school, graduate and then go, What am I going to do? I knew from the beginning.

I'll never be that trusting again, believing accountants and lawyers have my best interests at heart.
