The big labels have less of a stranglehold on artists and how they record and where they go.

I didn't spend much time in America, which probably was a mistake. To someone else, having a number one in America would be enough to get them touring.

I got to show off in front of my husband, who married me as I was stepping out of the business, so he had no idea that I could strut my stuff on the stage.

I'd got married and wanted to have kids, so had kids, brought them up, did other things, and slowly got back into music. And it feels great, having one foot in the present, writing and covering interesting songs, and having one foot in the past.

I want to conquer the world and it seems like my own family is putting a stop to that.

I do know what my family has done for me, but they do need to give me some space to let me be myself. There would be some things I would handle differently.

Real talent will get through whatever the obstacles.
