She looks great on the cover! We’ll probably see a lot of things like this as she tries to press her new album, My December. Here’s a few things she had to say in the big magazine interview.

On the battle with big time record execs:

“I’ve sold more than 15 million records worldwide, and still nobody listens to what I have to say. Because I’m 25 and a woman…My resistance upsets a lot of people, because we could make a lot of money. And I’m not hatin’ on money. But you know in Funny Girl, when they make Barbara Streisand sing the ‘beautiful girl’ song, and she is singing these lyrics and she knows she’s not that person? I’m just not comfortable doing things that don’t feel like me.”

Turning down Clive Davis’ $10 mil to get rid of 5 songs on her album:

“I haven’t lost my temper about it. It only drives me more. If your thing is to bring me down, cool. I’ll just work harder.”

On her success:

“In time, I’ll be weeded out. And that’s cool. I know I’m a good singer, but I know who I am, too.”
