I've never sold my publishing. I have 100% control of all of my publishing and that includes everything, every use of my songs.

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 go to the river from time to time to ponder over the crazy days in my life. Watch the river flow, ease my mind and soul where I go.

The research phase was really fascinating - I'm not a closeted nerd, I'm an out-of-the-closet nerd.

TV holds a close second to cars for destroying our society. It's a failed experiment.

Literature gives us a window into other people's experiences in other places, in other times, so I thought it would be really interesting to investigate how different people had written about motherhood, and childhood.
