Starbucks is my main fix and it's usually you people working in there - sometimes they're actually shaking. It just makes me feel horrendous because I've been in that situation.

Pop music seems to be the way radio programming has chosen to support female artists. They have chosen not to support a more provocative voice from women, which I find disappointing.

Somehow or another, my mother taught me to push through my fear, always. Feel the fear and do it anyway.

I think it's a great thing to have failed in life and then pulled yourself up by the boot straps and actually done something, because then you appreciate it more.

I'm 45 years old. I used to be a club girl, but that's not my world anymore. That doesn't mean I can't make music that excites. I think it's inspiring to see an artist you grew up with take another crack.

What makes a woman stylish is what she has to say and how she chooses to live her life.

It's everywhere, constant criticism of women's appearance in magazines and online. It's not easy to navigate.
