I Don't Really Like To

I Preferred Not To Be Laden Down With A Big Instrument. If You're Behind A Guitar, You Get Used To Being Behind A Guitar, And You Don't Really Perform Because You Can't. I Wanted To Be Able To Just Hold On To The Mike And Sing.

We Did The Opening Tailgate Party - I'm Not A Big Football Person - And It Started To Rain. I Was A Little Sick And Went Back To The Hotel Where We Were All Staying. We Didn't Know Whether Prince Was Going To Go On Or Not Because The Rain Got So Bad. He Had Already Prerecorded It Just In Case He Couldn't Go On. So I'm Sitting There Wrapped In Blankets, With A Hot Water Bottle And Hot Tea, And He Goes On And It's The Most Magical Thing I Have Ever Seen.

I'm Going To Spend My Life Writing Poems, Turning Them Into Music That Will Affect People And Touch Their Hearts. I'm Going To Write The Songs That People Can't Write For Themselves.

I Blame It [never Taking A Break] On My Mother. She Was A Born Entertainer. Leave The Songwriting, The Singing And All That Behind, And I Still Would Have Found Some Way To Be An Entertainer. I Would Have Never Been An Actress, Though, Because I Realized Early In My Life, In Like Sixth Grade, I Was A Terrible Actress.

I Made A Conscious Decision That I Was Not Going To Have Children. I Didn't Want Others Raising Them, And Looking After Them Myself Would Get In The Way Of Being A Musician And Writer.
