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.
Music is the universal language that everyone can understand.
I've never kept my mouth shut, especially as my industry is so misogynistic. I've got a reputation as a troublemaker.
So many people put older women out to pasture.
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.
If things aren't going so well, I try to stay positive and not give in to negative thoughts.
