Don't Listen To Her, Listen Through Her."

I Blame It [never Taking A Break] On My Mother. She Was A Born Entertainer. Leave The Songwriting, The Singing And All That Behind, And I Still Would Have Found Some Way To Be An Entertainer. I Would Have Never Been An Actress, Though, Because I Realized Early In My Life, In Like Sixth Grade, I Was A Terrible Actress.

When You Grow Up As A Girl, The World Tells You The Things That You Are Supposed To Be: Emotional, Loving, Beautiful, Wanted. And Then When You Are Those Things, The World Tells You They Are Inferior: Illogical, Weak, Vain, Empty.

I Saw Her Do 'different Drum' And Thought, That's What I'm Gonna Do. I Don't Look That Good In Cut-offs, But That's What I'm Gonna Do.

And I Knew Then, As I Know Now, That I Still Have So Much To Do.
