Every record, you've got more experiences to draw on as a writer and a musician.
If I weren't a performer, I would be still be writing and songwriting. Plus, I also really want to get into producing.
I want to be a well-rounded, versatile performer.
Who you are as a performer is one thing, but when you're making records, you're dealing with musicians' tastes, their goals, their wants, their needs, everyone's individual pride.

I think I went more toward writing because that's my talent. I don't think I was a great performer... And I like being behind the scenes a little bit.
I'm a performance artist first; I'm a recording artist second.
I'm not really a songwriter - I'm an interpreter. So in a sense I am an actress first and foremost. I act out the songs, and I lead with my heart.
I'm a writer; I'm a producer. I've certainly spread myself over a lot of different careers.
I'm a writer first and a singer second.
