Raising kids makes most people, including me, grow up at least a little.

Sometimes I was in a mood to write a song as if I was writing in my journal and reveal certain parts of me that I was ready to reveal.

I see a huge paradox in me - the intense need to be loved and the search for approval juxtaposed with the need to nurture other people, to be the mother I never had.

I've slept with Prince.

When you are raised to believe that anything having to do with sex is forbidden and taboo, then of course that's all you want to know about. That becomes your complete and utter fascination. That is the surest way to interest a child.

I wouldn't have turned out the way I was if I didn't have all those old-fashioned values to rebel against.

The only way I've been able to survive the betrayal of lovers, family members, and society is to be able to create as an artist.
