I have a great career, and no matter what I am doing, a big blockbuster movie... or my small documentary, David Letterman will call and say I would like you to sit on my couch. ↗

At my second record label, they told me and other female artists that some of us were going on the chopping block. I was 19... and it was devastating. ↗
