Thirty was a big deal for me. It was the age where I reevaluated everything - how I approached life and how I thought about myself. When I look at my 20s, or when I look at any period in my life, I think about how much time I've wasted trying to find the right man.
I sat out a few years because I wasn't really sure what I wanted to do next. So many things were changing in music and in culture, so it seemed like a good time to step back.
After ten albums, I can reevaluate my life. Maybe then I'll settle down.
I did have a midlife crisis.
You hear about these guys having midlife crises - I don't see that happening to me.
I am a firm believer that every few years one needs to shake one's life through a sieve, like a miner in the Yukon. The gold nuggets remain. The rest falls through like the soft earth it is.
I had a big event in my personal life. Then I reevaluated and started going to theology class, and then I found my husband.
When I got to jail, it was a blessing in disguise because it made me reevaluate and check who I am as a person.
The mid-life crisis is just those times when you're not so into the things you were when you were younger.
I have examples of people who find their way back later on in life, in their 30's, 40's, it can happen in your 50's, I'm sure it can. It's not really a science. It's maybe more of an art.
I was quite fearless as a kid. But I've had to realize I'm not invincible. That's what breaking your back does. It makes you grow up and reassess life.
I don't like the term mid-life crisis.
I'd like to have a decade of my life back. I dropped into a void for almost a decade.
