When I first came out, like a lot of the artists at that time, I had a very polished, very overproduced sound.

I came out the box and for seven years I had a huge career. And then it's done, it's dumped. But I ain't gone, and I refuse to be gone.

My first tour I was on the road for 18 months. You're just out there promoting.

My tastes and inspirational artists were always rather eclectic and diverse.

I've had enough boyfriends and enough issues. I'd seen enough train wrecks.

So when I'm working out I do things extreme.
