I wouldn't consciously pursue trying to make something for the charts. It's just not in my scope now. I'd rather stick needles in my eyes.

When you're single and in your 20s, you throw on a pair of jeans and look fabulous.

The whole world has changed much since the '80's. In the united States, rap music and country music dominate radio and that certainly wasn't the case in the early '80's.

I used to hate, with a capitol H, making videos. It was nothing but a chore. It was something you had to do to have your music accepted in the visual medium.

Any time I have to get on a plane and leave my kids for a few days, it's kind of tortuous.

I was blessed in the sense that I got handed so much early on in life. I got a lot of the things people go through their 20s and 30s craving.

I'm terrible at relationships. I consider myself to be smart and a good mother but it's taken me this long to realise you don't have to marry a guy after three days or dump him.
