I had this weird, nomadic little tent with a rug over it, like a booth where I'd sing the vocals.

When a child is born into this world it has no concept of the tone the skin is living in.

Being a grandmother is one of the least strange things in my life. It makes more sense than a lot of things... like photo shoots!

When I found out I was pregnant, my mother said, 'Dont separate your life, the life that youre going to make with this child, from the things that you are and what you want to do.'

I've always had mixed feelings. I don't know if it's any better or worse. I do think there's a really boring side of what's going on now - the over-repetitive, oversexualized thing. There's a lot of women that know better, that are really beautiful and sexy, but it's like: We know you can shake your ass in a G-string and wave it around, it's not that risque. It's not dangerous. It's very obvious and boring.

I have absorbed my life now. I am ready for my music to unfold. I know time flies, but before the end of this year, the album will be out. Even if it kills me.

Who needs a handbag? I put my money in my bra.
