I Have A Lot Of Things To

Honestly, I Just Want To Have A Good Time, Listen To Great Singers And Great Music, And Just Use My Instincts, As Usual.

Pop Is Actually My Least Favorite Kind Of Music, Because It Lacks Real Depth.

I Was 21. At The Time, I Was Under The Thumb Of My Label, And I Felt Like I Had To Do, Say And Act Out Everything They Asked Me To Do. I Was Trying To Please Them And The Public And Finally I Had To Say, "enough. I'm Going To Make A Record That Makes Me Happy And Addresses All Facets Of Being A Woman. I Don't Care If I Sell One Or One Million Records." That's How I Came To Make Stripped.

Hurt Me To See The Pain Across My Mothers Face, Every Time My Father's Fist Would Put Her In Her Place.

Pain Is Rewarding, In Every Capacity.
