I can't do some of the songs that younger girls like Mary J. Blige and Beyonce are doing. They have their own place and I have my own place.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't want to be 35 years old and still popping out songs in miniskirts and la-la-la.
I still write more songs about girls than anything else.
My songs are about not knowing who to be and not knowing how to act.
Sometimes you're trapped in writing songs and you don't have enough distance from what you do anymore and you need the talent and the years of other people to come and jump in.
There's always a group of songs that I'm working at. Some of them are 10 years old, and some of them are just a few weeks old. I'm always trying to adjust these songs to some position where I can bring them to completion.
It's not my aim to be this, like, 'savior for females.' I just want to make good music.
I'm not just writing songs that are narrating my life, but everyone else around my age because they're super-relatable.
I can't make a song for a particular person or demographic. If I love it, I'm gonna do it. I have to perform it for the rest of my life. A song is like a tattoo - you can never get away from it.
I don't really write songs anymore.
I don't do any songs that I'm sick of now - sometimes even songs that I request. If I'm sick of 'em I don't do 'em even for myself.
