You Can Never Be Too

It's Impossible To Redefine Yourself And Your Life Overnight.

Who Is That Girl I See, Staring Straight Back At Me? When Will My Reflection Show Who I Am Inside?

I Was 21. At The Time, I Was Under The Thumb Of My Label, And I Felt Like I Had To Do, Say And Act Out Everything They Asked Me To Do. I Was Trying To Please Them And The Public And Finally I Had To Say, "enough. I'm Going To Make A Record That Makes Me Happy And Addresses All Facets Of Being A Woman. I Don't Care If I Sell One Or One Million Records." That's How I Came To Make Stripped.

It's Hard Being Such A Powerful Woman In The Business. I'm Known For Not Always Being Warm And Fuzzy, Because You'll Just Get Bulldozed Over.

I'm A Smart Girl. There Are Decisions That I Make For Reasons, And The Most Important Thing Is That My Son Is Happy And He Always Will Be. He's Surrounded By Love.
