You Shouldn't Have To Pay For Your

When I Was A Kid About Joining The Peace Corps. It Said It Was "the Hardest Job You'll Ever Love." This Is What Parenting Is, As Far As I'm Concerned. This Is Parenting. That Is The Friggin' Peace Corps. Because You Don't Love Doing This - This Is The Thing You Love The Most In Your Life, It's The Best Thing You Ever Do.

I Never Looked At People Or Singing As Commodities.

When The First Record Came Out, I'd Go Down To Radio Stations Pretty Much Every Day To Get The Record Played, And I Would Walk In And They'd Tell Us How Much They Loved The Record, But They Weren't Sure How Much They Could Play It Because They Were Already Playing A Girl.

When I Started It Still Wasn't Okay To Be This Age And Still Make This Kind Of Music. And Believe Me, I Consider Our Stuff To Be Much Poppier Than - We're Not On Like Cutting Edge, That Kind Of Thing Anymore. And Even Though We're Not Doing Britney Spears Music Or Nsync, It's Still What I Consider To Be Pop Music. So That Does Give You A Little Bit More Longevity, I Guess. But If Somebody Told Me I'd Be Getting Up There And Singing "heartbreaker" At Fifty I'd Laugh. So I Don't Know, I Have No Idea.

I've Enjoyed Every Age I've Been, And Each Has Had Its Own Individual Merit. Every Laugh Line, Every Scar, Is A Badge I Wear To Show I've Been Present, The Inner Rings Of My Personal Tree Trunk That I Display Proudly For All To See. Nowadays, I Don't Want A "perfect" Face And Body; I Want To Wear The Life I've Lived.
