I just don't fit into the box.

I love stretching myself musically.

Nothing feeds a hunger like a thirst

I am comfortable performing now. I love it!

I was raised to be a very intelligent housewife.

Love is nothing, nothing, nothing like they say.

I'm very cerebral. I like to think things through.

Wearing a veneer of perfection never did me any good.

When you love what you do, you're happy just doing it.

I don't know what the future holds. Anything is possible.

It’s nice to be liked, but it’s better by far to get paid.

I don't know why it surprises people that I surprise them.

There's nothing wrong at all with women wanting to be women.

No matter how I do this, my best songs have profanity in them.

What does it mean when something changes how it's always been?

I can feel it in my bones: I'm gonna spend my whole life alone.

I'm really happy to be a mom, and I'm proud of the phase I'm in.

All parents gush about what it's like to be a parent. I love it.

I prance around and dance by myself to hip-hop songs in the mirror.

I don't mind people not liking me as long as there's mutual respect.

I am just your ordinary, average every day sane psycho, supergoddess.

And, you know, I still haven't been contacted by Mick Jagger, either!

I have my head screwed on right. I haven't been this way in a long time.

I try to see interviewing as performance art, and just take it as it comes.

I can't say I don't get nervous, but I really kind of enjoy performing now.

My career has been riddled with controversy, which I never fully understand.

I'm known for being annoyingly gender-focused. It's always been my platform.

I'm working on a proper rock record, a good, old-school rock record. Finally.

You have to do what you need to do as an artist. You have to have that courage.

Madonna is the speedboat, and the rest of us are just the Go-Gos on water skis.

I don't have the same access or time to gain access to music the way I used to.

I am just like you and everyone else. I am trying to live my life as best I can.

Music is sound. It's a wave. It's going out and coming back, and it's bouncing off.

Women artists need to break barriers in order for women's experience to be valuable.

You been around enough to see that if you think you're it, you better check with me.

I remember even getting kicked out of a bar once because I was too loud and obnoxious.

My nails are a disaster. If I play guitar when my nails are long, I just tear them off.

Now, in music, it seems more like the popular crowd suppresses anyone who is different.

I mean, I think about it, but I don't design my record to get a certain public response.

I don't think you can spend too much time as an artist believing what other people think.

I just want to make music and make a living. I just have to find the means of doing that.

It's important to have people who will say to you that you're really off the beaten track.

After my first record came out, I read everything. I was so amazed that I was in the press.

I don't know; it just seemed like the cooler guys are playing Xbox. At least the ones I know.

I'm competitive, so I don't like to feel marginalized by the people who sell a lot of records.

It's about the journey and the process. I do things because I love doing them, or trying them.

I think good art happens on that edge between comfortable and in a lot of pain, you know what I mean?

I prefer to be reclusive and private about my creation and then, once I'm finished, present it to people.

I blend my green drink every morning. I also fix my son a full-on American breakfast with bacon and toast.

Yeah, I like to be the maker of the art. And I like and want the money. But I don't really dig being famous.
