I think that all people that get to a certain level of their celebrity are brands. I accept that. I don't value it in any personal way. I value it as an element of my work. I'm more pragmatic in that sense. I do get very rattled if I don't get enough normalcy in my life. I like solitude. I can't even write music if I'm not isolated.

I'm not someone who is glamorous all the time.

I don't even know half the time what I'm nominated for.

If my clothing does stand out, then I guess it's a compliment, but I just wear whatever feels comfortable.

My goal is to appeal to as many people as I can. I'm not looking to leave country, but I do want to have more international success.

In a way, we women take on more than we need to sometimes.

One day, someone said to me, 'Do you want to go jump out of an airplane?' I felt like I had nothing to lose anymore, so I said, 'Why not?' And every day since then, I ask myself that question.
