“Fortunately, we have a lot of really smart women in the business.”
“I love music and musicians. And seeing great artists dropped from labels was really frustrating and sad to me.”
“I like to think of myself as fearless.”
“Criticism really used to hurt me. Most of these critics are usually frustrated artists, and they criticise other people's art because they can't do it themselves. It's a really disgusting job. They must feel horrible inside.”
“Look, it's to the point where kids are getting Botox. It's insane. We're not allowed to age.”
“I've never kept my mouth shut, especially as my industry is so misogynistic. I've got a reputation as a troublemaker.”
“It's so hard to keep everything balanced in life.”
“Art is such an important part of our culture.”
“It's not fair the emphasis put on beauty, or on sexuality.”
“I do resent that when you're in the most cool, powerful time of your life, which is your 40s, you're put out to pasture. I think women are so much cooler when they're older. So it's a drag that we're not allowed to age.”
“When I was doing indie films, it wasn't cool and hip.”

“In Hollywood there are a lot of very insecure men running the business.”
“Being fierce is a compliment! It's not an insult.”
“It's unfortunate that music has become such big business.”

“I never really played the game, doing what it takes to be a star, to keep your mouth shut.”
“I think the most important thing for an artist is to not worry about what anybody else thinks. You just have to do what comes from your heart and your being and put it out there-that's true in any of the arts.”
“My childhood shaped the person I became. It was artistic, musical and left-wing.”
