I knew that because of who I am, and the situation I'm in, that I'd attract more critics than your average person, and that was a little intimidating, but I wanted to get out there and pay my dues.

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 have a lot of memories, but I don't go into capitalizing on that. Something's got to be my own. I'm not doing the record to sit here and broadcast my memories of my father.

Being Elvis Presley's daughter is a whole lot of pressure. It's been a constant burden in my life.

I sit with the intention to write a record.

I never not wanted to be a singer. Since I was 3, I knew this was what I wanted to do. Well, I can't say I wanted to do it, but I fantasized and thought about it all the time. I never thought it would actually happen.

When I write, it's purging for me. It's a therapeutic process.
