Im going to be shaking my booty when Im 55.

Be true to yourself, and, um, don't worry about some large companies' quarterly profit index.

I think of myself as a musician and not a celebrity. Celebrity status is something you have to deliberately pursue - I couldn't imagine myself seeking that.

It's funny, I remember doing the Johnny Carson show, and, uh, I couldn't afford my rent.

I was shy. Bookish. The kind of 13-year-old girl who, instead of having a boyfriend, would have a crush on a dead, 19th-century author!

When I originally wrote "Jealousy," it was more like an exercise to try to write a girl-group kind of pop song. It was really contrary to most of the material I'd ever written. I didn't pay much attention to the song after I'd recorded it. I didn't really perform it at all the last 20 years. When it came time to make the new record, I decided to make peace with the song and have fun with it.

I wish I had appreciated my youth - I should have worn tighter clothing when I could have!
