When You're In A Band With Three

Do You Want To Be An Artist And A Writer, Or A Wife And A Lover? With Kids, Your Focus Changes. I Don't Want To Go To Pta Meetings.

I Blame It [never Taking A Break] On My Mother. She Was A Born Entertainer. Leave The Songwriting, The Singing And All That Behind, And I Still Would Have Found Some Way To Be An Entertainer. I Would Have Never Been An Actress, Though, Because I Realized Early In My Life, In Like Sixth Grade, I Was A Terrible Actress.

I Remember Prince Gave Me A Cassette Of Purple Rain. It Was Like 20 Minutes Long And He Asked Me To Write Something On It. I Tried For A Month And Then He Came To L.a. I Went To See Him And Said, "i Can't Do It. It's Too Perfect. It's Like 'stairway To Heaven.'" He Said Ok And Then I Go, "i Can Keep The Cassette, Right?" He Said, "of Course And Thank You For Trying."

I Made A Conscious Decision That I Was Not Going To Have Children. I Didn't Want Others Raising Them, And Looking After Them Myself Would Get In The Way Of Being A Musician And Writer.

I Hope That My Niece In 20 Years Is Going To Say To Me, 'aunt Stevie, What Was With Your Hair?'
