Being a singer, being a performer, you have tricks, somehow, to calm yourself when things feel a little overwhelming. I don't do breathing exercises, per se, but I definitely have to have a sort of internal word with myself before things got completely out of hand and I fainted on the floor.

I feel the same way I did when I was in school. I'm having the same insecurities.

I think women in pop have been declawed and defanged, and they're just meant to look pretty and sing pretty.

I am not a sexy woman, I'm not beautiful, I'm not a sex kitten, I don't flirt with people, yet I've been tagged more of sex symbol than women who truly are and I that's solely because I don't reveal too much: people are curious.

My solo album is dead and buried. We had the funeral. It was sad and I cried a lot but it made such a beautiful corpse that we had an open casket.

I say embrace the total geek in yourself and just enjoy it. Life is too short to be cool.

Everybody's trying to be the biggest, because if you're not the biggest, you don't survive.
