I Had A Mastectomy In 1998, And

As A Singer I Tried On All These Hats, These Voices, These Clothes, And Eventually Out Came Me.

I Just Want To Show Off My Scar Proudly And Not Be Afraid Of It.

I've Gone Through The Village Of My Songwriting And My Artistry, And I've Gone Through Lots Of Different Phases, Including One Where It Has Been Very Quiet And Abandoned Me For A Few Years.

I've Always Thought Of Myself As Being A Warrior. When You Actually Have A Battle, It's Better Than When You Don't Know Who To Fight.

I Used The Physical Scar Of My Breast Cancer Operation, The Scar That I Have Across My Chest As A Metaphor For All Kinds Of Scars.
