I love telling stories. I think of myself as a storyteller, and I don’t feel bound by being just a singer or an actress. First, I’m a storyteller, and history is stories – the most compelling stories.

Reflection Specific Thinking
I’m just being myself. There is not an ounce of me that believes any of that crap that they say. We can’t be feminine and be feminists and be successful? I want to be a f-king feminist and wear a f-king Peter Pan collar. So f-king what?

For those of you who thought you’d be forgotten, The friends you’ve made will try their best, to make it so. Think of all the beauty that you left behind you. You can take it if you want it, and then let it go…

I think making a movie or a record, the best things happen by accident – and those end up being the magic. Every time I’ve followed my gut it’s been better than when I’ve tried to do what I was supposed to do.
