12. How does she do it?

16. “My friendships with my girls are just so much a
part of me that there are things I am never going
to do that would upset that bond. I never want to
betray that friendship because I love being a
woman and I love being a friend to other women.
I think we learn a lot from our female friends –
female friendship is very, very important. It’s good
to support each other and I do try to put that
message in my music.”
