People will surprise you. Several times a week I see or hear about something creative our associates have done. It's inspiring to see their ingenuity and pace.

I leave the genre labeling to other people. I really do. If I were to think too hard about it, that would stifle you creatively. If you think too hard about who other people want you to be as an artist, it stops you from being who you want to be as an artist.

It's difficult because we live in a world that doesn't really respect the creative and intellectual contributions of women. It's more like 'Oh, you're so cute. Be quiet. Shhh, don't talk too much.

Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.

When I have a creative insight, there is a high. I think back in the day, I made music as much as I did because it made me feel so good. I think you could argue that there is a creative addiction - but, you know, the healthy kind.

Groups break up because they never got across what they wanted to do personally, and they have creative differences, and egos start to clash.
