Feminism has nothing to do with partisanship.

Artists are able to do well in the political arena because of fame, if only they can educate themselves.

I always sing them as though they are autobiographical, even if they're not, and most of my songs do come from something about me.

Ten minutes before you go onstage and you begin singing that torchy blues song, you may just be drinking a glass of water and brushing your teeth and doing some deep breathing.

If you just take one foot in front of the other without any protection, you may end up falling off the fence.

I do use reality because I want my work to feel real, I want it to feel heartfelt. I don't want to make it up and have it sound corny or unrelatable.
