I've raised my daughter with no television.
From Natalie Merchant
I was shy. Bookish. The kind of 13-year-old girl who, instead of having a boyfriend, would have a crush on a dead, 19th-century author!
I don't think women's prisons are environments for dance routines, and I don't think mass murder is humorous.
My mother was a single working mother; she started having children very young. There was a tension inside her about who she wanted to be and what she wanted to do and how she couldn't achieve the things she wanted to.
It's funny, I remember doing the Johnny Carson show, and, uh, I couldn't afford my rent.
I'm on this search trying to figure out exactly who I am and what I have to say to people.
I think of myself as a musician and not a celebrity. Celebrity status is something you have to deliberately pursue - I couldn't imagine myself seeking that.
I wish I had appreciated my youth - I should have worn tighter clothing when I could have!
