I was raised in a household where I read Nietzsche and Dostoyevsky and Kant, and I was never taught that my mind was feminine. I'm aware that my body is.

Sharing lets us feel less isolated and puts us on a path of being connected. At the end of the day, that's what we all want.

Some people want fame, popularity and huge sales. I've always hoped to have a really long career. So I've tried to make each of my creative decisions and business decisions to allow for longevity. As a side effect I got really famous and really big. I didn't realize the two could go together.

I have a two-year-old boy. Being his mom feels like I have a present I get to spend the rest of my life opening.
