thinking enough checks
You been around enough to see that if you think you're it, you better check with me.
When you love what you do, you're happy just doing it.
different crowds seems
Now, in music, it seems more like the popular crowd suppresses anyone who is different.
artist order needs
Women artists need to break barriers in order for women's experience to be valuable
winning cds play
That's what music is to me. Like, stuff that I really like to play loud. And I've got my quiet CDs, too, that I listen to around the house, but if you can't go there, then... Everyone gets so upset with me, I can't win
thinking issues people
The big news already broke. The file-sharing and all that stuff, it's a done deal. And I think figuring out how to make that a fair exchange for the people that make music is still an issue
people style identity
My identity has everything to do with me and my instrument. It doesn't have to do with what production style I use, or how many people played on it, whether it's sparse or grandiose or whatever. And I'm social, frankly
thinking thinking-things-through cerebral
I'm very cerebral. I like to think things through.

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.

people attention body
Women's bodies are used to sell anything and everything because it works, it grabs people's attention, and advertisers aren't going to stop using something that works.
men uncomfortable-feeling feelings
I would argue that the uncomfortable feelings she elicits are simply the by-product of watching a woman wanting and taking like a man.
trying like-you living-my-life
I am just like you and everyone else. I am trying to live my life as best I can.
beautiful smart stupid
I just want to hear the true voices of women self-expressing - smart ones, stupid ones, ugly ones, beautiful ones, good ones, bad ones, fat ones, thin ones, all of it - until the profound silence that has resounded throughout history is filled with a healthy chorus coming from our side of the aisle.
