We're just here to put on a great musical show and I think any social or political issues are secondary, although very important, because it is a music festival first and foremost,
I've never dieted in my life; I like food too much. I'm just thoughtful about what I eat, and I'm lucky that I love the taste of vegetables. I'm certainly not 'actress skinny,' and I never will be. I'm strong, and my body works great for me.
Yet we have a great opportunity and great platform to talk about a lot of issues that are important to me and a lot of us as women and human beings.
And he's a fantastic guy. He's a great musician and he's a joy to be around.
I thought, 'Well, why don't I get some of the women who I've had open up for me before and some artists that I really admire and respect. Let's ask them to do a few shows.'
We plan to have three years and try not to repeat artists in the same marketplaces. I have a hard time thinking of what's going be going on next week, much less two years from now. We're going to sit down after '99 and reassess things, probably take a year off.
There's nothing particularly unique about my experiences except that they're my experiences.
I'm not online. I'm not on Facebook much. I don't connect that way.
I'm a bit of a perfectionist, and I want to give 100 percent to everything.
Having the opportunity to express myself through music has been extremely cathartic for me my entire life.
I can look back over my earlier music, and it takes me back to the place I was emotionally.
I'll talk to any stranger about everything. I'm not guarded.
I'll answer anything... I'm brutally honest, actually, which gets me in trouble.
If I had to pick one song for me that sort of quintessentially summed me up, it would be 'Angel.' Without fail, I absolutely love singing it.
