The people who worked at the clubs just assumed I was a tagalong girlfriend or groupie. I'd get up on stage and the audience was just like, 'Show me your tits!' I had nothing to show anyway.
And if I let myself down, appear on stage when I'm not looking my best, it's not fun for me. I just beat myself up about it.
We've been all around the world and that's my favourite part of everything I do.
What did I win? ... I guess whatever I won, I just want to say thank you to the fans, especially all my girls. Imagine what it feels like to be me all these years and have your support. It's just outrageous.
Tony was the star on this one. He was willing to try anything, and i was like, "whoa!! my best friend is getting me off right now!" There was a real chemistry.
I don't expect to fit in right away but I do sense that the fashion world is rooting for me, too. I'm not being treated like a celebrity wannabe fashion designer. But even if I was, it doesn't really matter because I'm doing this for me ... but it does feel really good when you have a hit,
(My inspiration) was so strong with 'Love. Angel. Music. Baby.. I knew exactly what I wanted to do, and it was just like I had such a fire of inspiration.
No, I don't think so. But I have always known what was coming next, until now.
There are moments where I think that we made an amazing record and I'm so proud of it, but I don't wake up and go, "Wow, I'm amazing.
I think me and Snoop look really good together tonight.
Suddenly the song had this attitude, ... It was like, kind of, 'Oh! Where did the attitude come from?'
That was it. Suddenly you hit puberty, and it's like, you know, thrift stores! I just started deconstructing everything from thrift stores.
That was the first time we'd worked outside the group with songwriters, and it was really awkward. That's what defines us as a band, writing, so it was a brave and crazy experiment, It was uncomfortable in the studio, but Hella Good has become one of our staple songs,
I thought I was good at mixing things up, ... but I realize Andrea is even better. I don't have her refinement.
