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

I mean, I think about it, but I don't design my record to get a certain public response.

I don't like being approached by people who look at me too intensely, who needed something from me that I didn't have. I don't represent anything.

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

I'm really happy with my life now, but there's a lot of stuff I feel very sad about in ways I can't even control.

You're really creative when you're in an environment that you don't know how to handle. So collaborating was like that for me. I think that was one of the reasons why I knew I was gonna get a challenging reaction.

After my first record came out, I read everything. I was so amazed that I was in the press.
