When I Moved Out Of My Mom's

Barack Obama Was Amazing, But He Wasn't Perfect. We All Know That. He Was The Closest Thing To Perfect America's Ever Had. We Were Basking In The Glow. We Forgot That There's Always Going To Be A Backlash Within A Movement Every Time. When I Think About Race, There Were A Lot Of Pockets Of People That Were Still Living In Fear Under The Obama Administration, But We Were In This Blissful Celebration Mode. Now We Are Constantly Reminded That, Although There Are Lots Of Good People In The World, There Are Just As Many Horrible People.

The Thing About Being On The Majors, From The Beginning, Going Into This, I Was Like, "i'm Not Going To Be Treated Like A Factory," Because That's Never The Way It Was Done Before. You're Talking About A Major Label, We're Talking About Serious Business; You're Not An Artist Anymore, You're A Business, You Have To Work In Terms Of Product, You Have To Release A Product, And I Don't Really Think That Way At All.

When I Was A Kid Ellen Degeneres And Rosie O'donnell Were Mere Blips On The Gaydar; And They Were Both Still In The Closet.

I'm A Feminist, Of Course, And I Feel As If I'm Very Politically Correct, Although I Do Question What's Pc And What's Not - I Don't Just Accept What I'm Told.

I Don't Love The Word Luxury Because It Feels Bougy To Me.
