Some people hide more than others, and it does intrigue me.
In our minds, love and lust are really separated. It's hard to find someone that can be kind and you can trust enough to leave your kids with, and isn't afraid to throw her man up against the wall and lick him from head to toe.
Not everybody wants to have the same career. I think what's difficult is when you have two people that do something very, very similar and they both, say, want the limelight. That's very tricky.
When one doesn't want the limelight, but is also creative in developing whatever it is they are, then you can have two equal people that aren't competing against each other. I think when you are in the same field, it's difficult to leave it outside and not compete. Then when the doors are closed; that pervades everything.
If I was writing songs just for me I'd only play them in my living room, alone.
When you're in your 20s, there's maybe a little room for you to not be at the top of your artistic game, if you look good on a magazine cover. When you're not on the cover of the magazines anymore, then you realize that the work has to be great.
A key to keeping your husband is getting him to miss you. That keeps a marriage fresh.
Romance is important to me, and to have a romance with your husband takes a bit of doing. The key is to make sure your partner misses you. That means you have to take yourself away.

There are older men with younger women but you don't see a lot of older women with younger men. There are some women who have been able to do it but not often.
At 15, I knew someone whose mother cooked macrobiotic, so I persuaded my mother to go macrobiotic with me.
I felt sidelined by the industry, by the preoccupation with finding something newer, younger.
I've had to keep exploring different ways of presenting the music so I don't repeat myself.
There are ways to stimulate being prolific, and part of that is making pilgrimages, and being open to listening, changing up the routine.
I'm not very social when I'm off the promo trail, because I step into wife and mother mode. It's very reclusive.
Our generation has an incredible amount of realism, yet at the same time it loves to complain and not really change. Because, if it does change, then it won't have anything to complain about.
I produce the records. I don't hand over control to some really expensive producer who then talks to the record company and then tries to bend me to their will - for commercial purposes.
I love the classic crooners, but I got that from my mother - she worked in a record store.
