And the stuff that I write, is even tougher than dykes.

You only have one first chance to make one first impression that lasts a lifetime.

My first record - it was 1991. I was 16 years old. My first album came out when I was 20. So, I've been here that long and I still have the passion to do it.

Use your own intuition. You are tomorrow.

I got the opportunity to meet people all over the world. Brilliant women, tall women, short women, slim women, thick women, you name it. But, I don't meet them. I have the opportunities to and it's a little bit - I'm a little shy, so I don't meet them and I don't know who's right for me.

I wanted to say what wasn't being said. I wanted to give people a real story. I wanted people to know people like me exist in the world.

Once you make it to your point of making it, you'll appreciate the struggle.
