Fight And Push Harder For What You

I Got A Job When I Was 15 Because My Allowance Was About $20 A Week Which In New York Was Impossible. So I Used To Waitress Across The Street From Where I Grew Up.

I Used To Walk Down The Street Like I Was A Super Star... I Want People To Walk Around Delusional About How Great They Can Be - And Then To Fight So Hard For It Every Day That The Lie Becomes The Truth.

I Had A Boyfriend Who Told Me I'd Never Succeed, Never Be Nominated For A Grammy, Never Have A Hit Song, And That He Hoped I'd Fail. I Said To Him, 'someday, When We're Not Together, You Won't Be Able To Order A Cup Of Coffee At The F***** Deli Without Hearing Or Seeing Me.'

My Mother Always Wanted To Give Back.

I Realized My Father's Sister Joanne, Who Died At 19 Had Instilled Her Spirit In Me.
