I have always been a singer/songwriter and I was pushed in places I didn't want to do, like pop or top forty. I don't belong there.

I was very protective of my father and I didn't like these people who hung around outside all day. They creeped me out.

You are always learning; there is a lot of grey; don't take things for granted.

I think having kids just makes you want to do things to help people. You have children and you see how fragile and innocent and helpless they are when they first start out. If they are going to be a victim of whatever they are surrounded by, I just do everything I can to try to make whatever change I can.

I've been through a lot of stuff.

I was quite the spoiled brat. I have quite a temper, obviously inherited from my father, and I became very good at ordering everyone around. I was the princess; the staff were absolutely terrified of me.

I'm just not interested in selling out to get on the charts and make people happy
