What does it mean when something changes how it's always been?

I am a feminist, and I define myself: Be yourself, because if you can get away with it, that is the ultimate feminist act.

You have to do what you need to do as an artist. You have to have that courage.

I knew that collaborating on songwriting would be difficult for a lot of people, because I was known very much, for my independence and the fact that I wrote these quirky songs that were not typical structure, not typical sound - you know, really original stuff.

I'm really happy to be a mom, and I'm proud of the phase I'm in.

It seems to me like the Internet allows you to break that structure a little bit. You know, here's your CD that's going into stores, here's your EP that you offer online, here's a subscription for songs you recorded on the road, here's your live stuff streaming.

I try to see interviewing as performance art, and just take it as it comes.
