I wasn't afraid of going places or doing new things. I would do just about anything or go anywhere. I'd get a notion in my mind and just follow it.

The first song I wrote was the first song I remember thinking, "Well, maybe I can do something here." The very first one. By the second one I knew I could do something.

I still consider myself a feminist.

Some girls are taught to be sexy.

I dont think gender is aesthetically defining for me.
