People Don't Associate Red Hair, Pale Skin,

I'm 45 Years Old. I Used To Be A Club Girl, But That's Not My World Anymore. That Doesn't Mean I Can't Make Music That Excites. I Think It's Inspiring To See An Artist You Grew Up With Take Another Crack.

I Had Taken Some Of My Solo Music Into The Record Label. They Didn't Really Care For The Direction I Was Moving In And I Found It Really Disheartening. They Wanted A Pop Hit, Which I Understand In Terms Of Making Money. I Get That. But What They Were Going To Ask Of Me Was Something I Wasn't Prepared To Deliver And I Felt Kind Of Trapped. I Just Stopped Writing. I Just Stopped. It Was Stifling.

If Jennifer Lopez Could Write Songs Like Fiona Apple's, She Wouldn't Have To Spend So Many Hours At The Gym.

I Think Women In Pop Have Been Declawed And Defanged, And They're Just Meant To Look Pretty And Sing Pretty.

I Mean, I Tend To Do My Own Thing, And That Usually Crosses Purposes With Everyone Around Me.
