You Know, Either I'm Too Fat Or

I Never Went To College And I Was Raised In Arkansas So There Wasn't A Lot Of Academic Language Being Thrown Around My House. We Weren't Idiots, But I Didn't Have That Access To Academic Feminism. I Had To Realize, On My Own, That Feminism Is Not Just About How Far Ahead You Can Get In A Job And It Isn't About Not Wearing Makeup. It Isn't About Not Watching Your Waistline. I Had To Recreate The World Entirely.

I Have Learned So Much Making First Collection That I Am Excited To Use All Of It Towards Making The Next One Even Better! It's Been An Amazing Learning Curve And Experience.

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 Think From A Major-label Perspective, If You Were On The Flip Side Of Things And That's The World You Were Used To Working In, Your Interpretation Could Be, "oh, They're Having Trouble Writing Songs," When Really It's Like, "no, I'm Not Ready To Write Songs, I Don't Want To Write A Song Right Now, If I Did Write A Song, It Would Be Forced."

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.
