Criticism really used to hurt me. Most of these critics are usually frustrated artists, and they criticise other people's art because they can't do it themselves. It's a really disgusting job. They must feel horrible inside

I think the most important thing for an artist is to not worry about what anybody else thinks. You just have to do what comes from your heart and your being and put it out there-that's true in any of the arts.

There will always be some kid who's the new Kurt Cobain writing great lyrics and singing from his soul. The problem is they're not marketing that anymore or putting it out there.

Music used to change people's minds - and it still changes mine.

I have trouble saying hu ... hu ... husband.

It's so hard to be a mother and to also want to practice your art.

In Hollywood there are a lot of very insecure men running the business.
