Am I coasting on some early success? Yeah. It was a good lucky break for me. But I would rather earn my way back again than simply conform to what people are expecting.

Lana Del Rey seems to be bothering everybody because she allegedly 'remade' herself from a folk singing, girl-next-door type into an electro-urban kitty cat on the prowl (of course I like her), and they feel she is inauthentic.
-
I wear clothes that most people in the Midwest would probably deem inappropriate at my age. And I rock a bikini all summer long. I know that it's not normal, but I just don't care. I live once.
-
You're really creative when you're in an environment that you don't know how to handle. So collaborating was like that for me. I think that was one of the reasons why I knew I was gonna get a challenging reaction.
-
I don't know; it just seemed like the cooler guys are playing Xbox. At least the ones I know.
-
It's about the journey and the process. I do things because I love doing them, or trying them.
-
All parents gush about what it's like to be a parent. I love it.
-
I try to see interviewing as performance art, and just take it as it comes.

Picture being forced to talk endlessly about your feelings and listen and care when what you needed was just to get something done.
-
I'm competitive, so I don't like to feel marginalized by the people who sell a lot of records.
-
I ended up becoming so self-conscious that my songs stopped being about my life and started being about what people thought of my music. And that was really bad.
-
I'm known for being annoyingly gender-focused. It's always been my platform.
-
Young kids don't have their identity, so everything is so important. Now I'm mature. I know who I am and I know what my thing is and I know what I'm bringing. It's very clear and defined.
-
I don't always trust my own instincts. It would be nice if someone else would tell me what I should do with my life!
-
There's nothing wrong at all with women wanting to be women.
-
When you love what you do, you're happy just doing it!
-
I probably had some impact, because everyone keeps telling me that I did. I like to feel like I'm coming out with something to try to make room for other young women to make their art.
-
I am just like you and everyone else. I am trying to live my life as best I can.
-
Everyone wants to get into soundtracks. Everyone wants to do songs here and there. But, I think they want it for different reasons. I think I'm just tumbling through my life, enjoying playing with everybody.

Guys don't really don't wanna hear if it's really smart, and women feel uncomfortable if you reveal stuff they're going to have to remember they did themselves.
-
I don't like being approached by people who look at me too intensely, who needed something from me that I didn't have. I don't represent anything.
-
You have to do what you need to do as an artist. You have to have that courage.

Wearing a veneer of perfection never did me any good.

I was raised to be a very intelligent housewife.
