I can't say I don't get nervous, but I really kind of enjoy performing now.

Women artists need to break barriers in order for women's experience to be valuable.

I wear clothes that most people in the Midwest would probably deem inappropriate at my age. And I rock a bikini all summer long. I know that it's not normal, but I just don't care. I live once.

I was trying to break out of the suburbs, and when I did break out, I don't think I took my whole self with me - I think I played a role of being too cool and hip.

Like, I kind of developed my musical style in a vacuum. Even though I listen to a lot of stuff, the way I wrote was in my bedroom, really privately. It's still the way I write, actually.

Madonna is the speedboat, and the rest of us are just the Go-Gos on water skis.

I don't think you can spend too much time as an artist believing what other people think.
