I love those documentaries where everyone is fabulous and always perfect.

I'll continue to try and balance like a circus act. And I will just fight to always tell the truth. Even if it's difficult.

I just have so much love for my record label.

My religious upbringing was comically strict — even the Dirt Devil vacuum cleaner was banned. In our house, no one was allowed to refer to deviled eggs. We had to call them angelic eggs. We were never allowed to swear. I'd get into trouble just for saying 'Hell no'. If you dropped a hammer on your toe in our house you had to say something like 'Jiminy Christmas'. The only music we were allowed to listen to was gospel. No wonder I rebelled.

I'm happy, I'm in a good place, I'm looking forward to my future.

I'm a woman who likes to be courted, strongly. Never say never, I guess you'd say. I'll let love take the lead on that.

I guess I prefer to play live, but I don't want to have only live CDs. I like playing live because there are alot of things that can happen. I can interact with the audience and say some things to get me in trouble. On the other hand, the studio is nice because you can really take your time and make something that you know is the best thing that you can ever do. But nothing beats being up on stage in front of all that energy.
