Self-consciousness is not knowledge but a story one tells about oneself.
Writing for somebody else is really fun 'cause I consider myself a songwriter first and foremost.

So many people say, 'So, what, are you a party girl?' And I say, 'I'm a walking good time. ' Do I sometimes go out and drink? Hell, yes. But could I have a number one song if I wasn't also working hard? Maybe that needs a little more respect.
I'm really fun. I'm ridiculously fun. I hope I'm infectiously fun.
I have haters. I have so many haters.
I listen to a lot of rap where men talk a certain way about women and I'm not offended. It's meant to be funny. I'm throwing it right back at them with humor, but some people can't take it. They're not used to women talking back.
I love gay and lesbian parents. But I think we need a law that says lesbians and gay men have to raise their children together. This way, the kids would not only know how to build bookshelves, but they'd also instinctively know how to decorate them.

The motivation is in my heart to work toward my goals and my dreams.
I'm a tuning fork, tense and twanging all the time.
