When I first started getting into the business, a young woman in a music game that was mostly men, I did feel inadequate.
Stevie Wonder's records introduced me to '70s soul when I was 12 or 13.
I have this vintage Harley-Davidson motorcycle jacket. When I put it on, it has this supercool feeling to it.
I know people who've gone to jail. It don't mean you stop loving them! They deservin' love just as much in there, and maybe they needin' it more.
And I love kick boxing. It's a lot of fun. It gives you a lot of confidence when you can kick somebody in the head.
I love my legs.
I have big everything on the bottom, but I love my legs. You've got to love what's yours.
When I was younger, my mother and I, we'd have these crazy, crazy fights. Everyone would storm out mad, and the only way that I'd be able to express myself was to write her. We would write letters back and forth for days. When I'm writing, I feel uninterrupted. I write what I'm going through and how I see it.
I'd rather not have anything than be a liar.
Maturity and experience are part of my liberation.
I would hate to make music and people love me for something that isn't me.
I really like to live my life in a low-key fashion.
I want to continue to produce film, television, and theater, and to make the most amazing music that I've made in my life.
My mom is definitely my rock.
I grew up in a pretty tough neighborhood.
We are all one. We're not as separate as we oftentimes think.
Sometimes I've gotten photographs back and people have literally shaven off pieces of me, and I tell them to put it back.
But when I first fell in love with the piano, I knew it was me. I was dying to play.
I fell in love with the piano. I knew it was me. I was dying to play.
I find myself to be truly primal and passionate. Everything I do comes from a primal place.
