People do see me as sweet and innocent. Not to say that I am not those things. But I have other sides to me.

To be given permission to be confused -- and remain confused -- for as long as it takes would have been a huge gift.

You don't know how many people come up to me and say, 'This child was conceived listening to you.'

I'll meet a guy now, and the next thing I know they'll be sweating and their hands will be shaking. And I feel so bad - I don't even know what to say to them. Then there are other guys who come on too strong, and they're just all over you. The nice ones are the ones who are in-between - the ones who aren't scared and who aren't all over you.

I lose things all the time. I used to lose my license all the time before I put a place in my car for it.

I wanted to talk about my life. There is so much. I was 18 when I made the record, and I had a lot to say.

It was the Control album that was really about what I wanted to do.
