When it's me in my living room, it's pretty pure, and then what gets recorded involves more people, and it keeps escalating from there.

I can feel it in my bones: I'm gonna spend my whole life alone.

I just want to hear the true voices of women self-expressing - smart ones, stupid ones, ugly ones, beautiful ones, good ones, bad ones, fat ones, thin ones, all of it - until the profound silence that has resounded throughout history is filled with a healthy chorus coming from our side of the aisle.

That's exactly what's exciting for me - the idea of infiltrating the male structure and affecting change from within.

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.

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