I Beat Myself Up In The Studio

When I Signed A Record Deal, I Was Always Told By Execs I Needed To Be Like Everybody Else, That I Had To Show My Midriff, Things That Would Take Away From Who I Want To Be As An Artist.

I Want To Be A Diva... Like People-totally-respect-my-music Diva, Not Diva Like Carry-my-diet-coke-around.

I Think That Freshness And That Innocence Is Something That Is Missing From A Lot Of Female Singers. I'm Certainly Not Denying That I'm Young, But I'm Not Fluff.

It Was Like A Death In The Family: You Go Through The Mourning Stage, Then The Rebellion, And Then All Of A Sudden You Have To Find Life By Yourself. . . . I Loved Everything About Marriage. I Loved Having A Companion To Wake Up With And Have Barbecues With. But Things Happen And People Grow Apart. I Don't Really Ever Talk About The Divorce Because It Was A Heart-wrenching Thing To Go Through.

To Be A Mentor For Up-and-coming Artists Is Right Up My Alley.
