As a woman, you spend so much time either cooking or getting ready to go somewhere. I like to have music when I'm doing either of these things.

It takes a lot of courage to face up to things you can't do because we feed ourselves so much denial.

Our censorship has sort of gotten a little too far. Too much censorship is just as bad as having none at all. Children need to be exposed to things, because if they don't see it, eventually, it's not like it's not going to happen, but it's just that there needs to be a balance.

Music is a very big participant in everything I do, from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to bed.

The biggest battle that I have is being a woman in the world. That takes center stage for me.

I'm very accepting with my age. It's like notches on your belt: experience, wisdom, and a different kind of beauty. There comes a day when you've become comfortable in your skin.
