I want to continue to produce film, television, and theater, and to make the most amazing music that I've made in my life.

I just wanted to be who I was, which was like so many other girls I knew. We grew up in the city, had a hard edge and obstacles to overcome, but we were still young and beautiful. I didn't want to be...

We're all going to change. Otherwise, it's boring.

When you're talented, you're talented.

If I didn't love it, I would not record it.
