When I was young, people were almost identified solely by the kind of music they liked. People fell into categories of who liked what.

Radio interviews are really snappy and I'm just bad at that. I just close down.

I've never associated myself with other singers, certainly not female singers.

When you play arenas you can create whatever you want. At a theater the height of the stage and the limitations of the theater can make you feel more separate from the audience.

I can't see myself just endlessly singing the same songs over and over again.

To be a mother you must be strong. Even if you don't feel it, you have to pretend.

I always see myself as much more of a musician than a celebrity.
