I've always been famous, it's just no one knew it yet.
Some women choose to follow men, and some women choose to follow their dreams.
Men weren't always happy for me. It was very challenging to watch a woman be so successful.
I had a boyfriend who told me I'd never succeed, never be nominated for a Grammy, never have a hit song, and that he hoped I'd fail. I said to him, 'Someday, when we're not together, you won't be able to order a cup of coffee at the f***** deli without hearing or seeing me.'
As artists, we are eternally heartbroken.
I am focused on the work. I am constantly creating. I am a busy girl. I live and breathe my work. I love what I do. I believe in the message. There's no stopping. I didn't create the fame, the fame created me.
