Love Is A Battlefield.

When The First Record Came Out, I'd Go Down To Radio Stations Pretty Much Every Day To Get The Record Played, And I Would Walk In And They'd Tell Us How Much They Loved The Record, But They Weren't Sure How Much They Could Play It Because They Were Already Playing A Girl.

When I Was A Kid About Joining The Peace Corps. It Said It Was "the Hardest Job You'll Ever Love." This Is What Parenting Is, As Far As I'm Concerned. This Is Parenting. That Is The Friggin' Peace Corps. Because You Don't Love Doing This - This Is The Thing You Love The Most In Your Life, It's The Best Thing You Ever Do.

My Most Important Inspirational Job That I Do Is Raising Those Kids. That's My Job. And That's Where My Ambition Goes. But I Have A Life. I'm Not Only Their Mother. I'm Still Who I Was Before, I Just Don't Get To Be It All The Time.

In My Early 20s, I Had This Idea That I Was Going To Front A Band, Like Robert Plant Of Led Zeppelin. I Didn't Just Want To Be The Chick Singing Ballads About Somebody Breaking My Heart. Everyone In The Business Said, 'why Don't You Do What Olivia Newton-jonn And Linda Ronstadt Are Doing?' But I Wanted To Sing As A Powerful Female Who Wasn't Afraid To Speak Her Mind Or Be Sexual.

I Like Lady Gaga Because I Like That She Pushes The Envelope.
