I love Chrissie Hynde and Mick Jagger. Someone at Capitol pointed out how much my inflections are similar to Jagger's.

I don't think science is totally true, because I've seen miracles happen through prayer.

I've come up against a few challenges. I've just taken them on with a really pure energy. I'm not out to change people's minds. I'm out to maybe educate and inspire.

It's just that only now are women coming around, and when someone as striking as Alanis or Sheryl Crow comes out, the public just needs something to compare it to.

Stop thinking you have to go to big industry to have a big life, because it's not the truth.

I have so many plans! Sometimes it's hard to keep up because at this point it's just been me and the little bit of help my label gives me.

My mentoring program is pretty specific, it's about self-empowerment, about being able to find solutions through teamwork. That's one of my first goals.
