Fame is, I think, just a disgusting by-product of what I do.

What I wanted to be and who I am is a singer and a songwriter. I wanted to be onstage, and I wanted the world to hear my music. The product of that is fame and the disgusting celebrity that goes along with it. But celebrity does not equal creativity.

Sometimes I can be distracted by the glamour and the fabulousness.

I had no clue they would fall into my armpits eventually.

It can be the most difficult thing to do, but love conquers fear and love conquers hate and this love that you choose will give you strength and it's our greatest power.

When I first started out, I was really attracted to having my own sense of style because I started swing dancing, lindy hop, and jitterbug.

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.
