I Have A Very Independent

When I Was A Little Kid I Thought I Would Grow Up To Be Black And Sing Jazz In Nightclubs.

I'm So Associated With Being Young And Being With A Teenager.

My Dad Has Always Just Had A Lot Of Faith In Me As An Artist And As A Person, And He Doesn't Really Dispense With A Lot Of Advice When It Comes To The Music. He's Taught Me A Lot Over The Years, But When I Was Taking On This Project He's Really Hands-off About That. He Just Appreciates What I've Done And Is Very Supportive, And Of Course Really Proud.

I Think People Assume That Women Write About The Domestic Sphere. Women Write About Relationships And Family. Men Do, Too, But Then It's The Great American Novel.

People Feel Like They Grew Up With Me.
