I Hope That My Niece In 20

By The Time I Was Five, I Was A Little Diva.

I Was Not Going To Be A Stupid Girl Singer. I Was Going To Be Way More Than That.

I Do Not Walk Away In The Face Of Adversity And Never Have.

When You Grow Up As A Girl, The World Tells You The Things That You Are Supposed To Be: Emotional, Loving, Beautiful, Wanted. And Then When You Are Those Things, The World Tells You They Are Inferior: Illogical, Weak, Vain, Empty.

The Clothes I Wear... That Doesn't Change. I Love Long Dresses. I Love Velvet. I Love High Boots. I Never Change. I Love The Same Eye Make-up. I'm Not A Fad Person. I Still Have Everything I Had Then. That's One Part Of Me... That's Where My Songs Come From. There's A Song On The New Fleetwood Mac Album [mirage] That Says, 'going Back To The Velvet Underground/back To The Floor That I Love,' Because I Always Put My Bed On The Floor. 'to A Room With Some Lace And Paper Flowers/ Back To The Gypsy That I Was.'
