I Feel Things Deeply.

I Was 21. At The Time, I Was Under The Thumb Of My Label, And I Felt Like I Had To Do, Say And Act Out Everything They Asked Me To Do. I Was Trying To Please Them And The Public And Finally I Had To Say, "enough. I'm Going To Make A Record That Makes Me Happy And Addresses All Facets Of Being A Woman. I Don't Care If I Sell One Or One Million Records." That's How I Came To Make Stripped.

Nothing Is Ever A Setback. If Anything, It Just Motivates You For What's Next.

I Was Never Into The Boy Crazy Thing Because I Was Very Focused On My Career.

I Know My Comfort Zone And I Know What My Strong Points Are And My First Love Was Always Music. I'm A Huge Cinema Fan. I Was Taking My Time; I Got Offered A Lot Of Scripts And Things Along The Way But Until Burlesque Showed Up At My Doorstep, It Really Spoke To Me. I Have A Collection Of Burlesque Books At Home That I've Had For Years. I've Always Been Intrigued And Fascinated With The Topic, The Beauty And The Art Of It And The Comedic Value Of It. I Think It's Just A Beautiful, Empowering Thing For Women.

I Want To Be A Poet And Have A Chance To Explore That And Let People Know What's Really On My Mind.
