I've lived most of my life in Manhattan, but I lived in Brooklyn for a while as a kid. I went to junior high school there. Girls in Brooklyn have to be tough - I mean real tough - just to get by. It's life in the combat zone.
In the past, I've allowed myself to record songs that I wish I had not, but agreed to for one reason or another.
I don't want to bore people with stories about being in rock n' roll and being a mother. Other singers do it. I can, too. I just do what I have to do. It's not that hard. It's just different.
When you have a different mother, you want to be in her world. Because in mine, I didn't feel like I fit in.

You had to have a great voice or talent as a musician before imaging or marketing plans came into play.
I haven't always made all of the right decisions from a career perspective, but things worked out in the end.
