I don't even remember why I called myself an idiot. I can be very harshly critical of myself. It depends on my mood, and obviously it depends on where I am in my life. Yes, embracing myself - I'm working on that.

I'm not a feminist, I'm a humanist.

Making records is not how it used to be! #stillwerking

Sometimes I look back at myself and remember things I used to say, or my hairstyle, and I cringe.

In my coming-of-age time, there was no internet, no social networking, nothing. It was just show after show, hoping one day somebody would notice you.

One of the many things I learned from all of this: If you aren't willing to fight for what you believe in, then don't even enter the ring.

Thanks for all the birthday love! I feel like the luckiest girl in the world today!
