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.

Until we command the exact same salary as every male counterpart, I feel a political desire to stand by other women. If we don't stand together, that equality will never be fully realized, and that bothers me.

I like the feeling that I'm giving young women self-confidence. It sounds so cliched, but it can be very moving.

I am a contradictory mess but I see it as my prerogative to change my mood like the weather.

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

I'm afraid of happy people. They're chemically unbalanced.
