album people stage
I'll be comfortable on stage if people come because they like the album and they really want to see me. Not because they look at it as a curiosity, or they're really skeptical.

I use songs as weapons. I've written some really good, nasty songs about people I've been involved with and then I make sure they hear it somehow.

I live with selected people I've sort of made into my family and that's my kind of fortress. I know that I'm safe, despite what else is going on in the outside world.
animal gratifying head higher hold looking marriages people rewarding stared tabloids
It's rewarding in that I can hold my head up a little higher because people are not just looking at me because of my marriages or the tabloids or because of my lineage. A lot of times people like the music. It's much more gratifying than being stared at for being an animal in a cage.

If people are expecting me to be like my dad they're going to be disappointed. I'm nothing like him. I'm in a completely different category.

When they divorced, I would go out on the road more and miss more school, which I liked. People say I didn't get to see him very much, but I was with him quite a bit. All of a sudden, a car would show up at school, and he was calling for me to go out on the road.

I was very much a daddy's girl, and was pretty tyrannical when he was sleeping. If I could get into trouble, I would. I didn't have a lot of respect for those people because I saw a lot of debauchery and decadence going on. People trying to hid it from me, but I was onto them.

I'm not interested in attention and I don't like being gawked at. I have no interest in standing out from the crowd whatsoever. If anything, my instinct is to hide, to be reclusive.
affect album gotten influence life outlet profound simple whatever
I'm doing it because music's been such a profound influence on me and my whole life and gotten me through everything. I thought I could use this album as a vehicle, an outlet of whatever I've been through, and I wanted to see if I could affect others. It's as simple as that.
act aretha basically brutally cover franklin honest liked song studio walked
I liked an Aretha Franklin song and I went into the studio to do a cover to see if I could sing. I basically walked in there and said, 'Let's just try this, and if I can't, let's just walk out of here and act like nothing happened.' You know, I'm pretty brutally honest with myself.
