I Lost Interest In Being In The

The Thing That Helped Me Come To Terms With Performing Was An Anxiety, A Desperation For Acceptance. There Was Never Enough Positive Motivation In My Life.

If The Baby Is Sick, You Won't Find Me Showing Up To Play My Gigs. If I Have A Contract, There Is Going To Be A Clause In That Contract Saying That If The Baby Is Sick I Will Not Appear.

There Were Times When I Had Maybe A Couple Of Hundred Dollars, And Times I Made Myself Think I Was On Top Of The World.

The First Album Was A Very Successful Record. It Made Me Very Visible And It's An Immediate Association, But I Don't Do That Anymore. Now I'm True To Myself As An Artist Again. I'm More Vocally Oriented.

With My Quick Success, I Didn't Have Time To Learn The Ropes Of The Music Business. Because My First Record Was Such A Hit, I Was Terribly Spoiled And I Thought I Couldn't Do Anything Wrong. I Was Also Desperate To Make Tons Of Money Because Of My Responsibility To My Daughter. And There Was No Longer Any Joy In Making Music.
