For me performing has a lot to do with being fearless.

At the end of the day, women are expected to hold up the world, not annihilate it.

It's hard to write about a love story with a broken heart.

I always felt like an outsider to the music world in a certain way. There was so much less of an art culture in L.A. - and particularly in the South Bay.

No one talks about woman power. The Spice Girls - they're masquerading as little girls. It's repulsive.

Malibu history is interesting to me. My mom's family was one of the early families in California, so there's history going back to the 1840s or '50s. They came over in the Gold Rush, actually. I have all this guilt about raising my daughter in the East. Coco's very anti-California. It's her way of rebelling.

Political art never goes away. I started watching The West Wing show recently and I'm actually learning about how the government works in a way. It's kind of embarrassing.
