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

No. You know what really bugs me about my videos? When they can't figure out what to do, they just have me change clothes five times.

Women's bodies are used to sell anything and everything because it works, it grabs people's attention, and advertisers aren't going to stop using something that works.

The big news already broke. The file-sharing and all that stuff, it's a done deal. And I think figuring out how to make that a fair exchange for the people that make music is still an issue

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.

Now, in music, it seems more like the popular crowd suppresses anyone who is different.
