I stopped reading press because I couldnt write

For a while, Exile in Guyville was something that I was running away from. When I got Rosetta Stone bashed for my pop period, it was almost like that album belonged to critics and not me anymore. They used it against me, in a weird way. I couldnt figure out how I felt about it or how I should feel about it. Now because I feel a tremendous sense of freedom for the first time in a long time, I said, "Im going to find these people and bring that moment back." If you told me five years ago that I was going to hunt down [Feel Good All Over label head] John Henderson, I would have laughed in your face. No fucking way! But I did. I found Steve Albini and all these people I had issues with in the past. It was so good for me. I was able to remember who I am — not just who I was. If you dont ever deal with your past, you dont even know half of who you are, and thats what I was suffering under. Youve been Cheap Rosetta Stone V3 critically attacked for most everything youve done since Exile in Guyville. How have you dealt with it? It did bother me. I stopped reading press because I couldnt write. I couldnt deal with reading about what people thought about me all the time. But how could I escape it? Everyone was like, "You suck! You dont just suck, you really suck!" They were so angry, and I couldnt understand what made them so angry. I reserve fits of anger for people that I know who might have done something mean to me personally. I got into it with one writer who was like, "Do you know how personal that record was to everyone?" And I was like, "Do you know how personal it was to me?" Do you consider yourself a feminist icon? I dont think of myself as an icon, but I think of myself as interested and can get ruffled at gender Rosetta Stone Arabic inequality. I still get touchy when people say that guys are interested in sex and girls are interested in love. Its bullshit. Do you think you were treated differently as a woman in the business? I think the inequality extends everywhere. I think its also a drag to be a guy in a lot of situations. We have trouble with differences, and I think were approaching it the wrong way. But I think we can evolve as a species. Did you gain anything from your major label period, or was it all a disaster? I enjoyed a lot of it. I enjoyed having a Rosetta Stone cover. I enjoyed having a radio hit. I think people who loved Guyville didnt understand this, but Im a lifelong radio listener. My experience with music my whole life has been finding music I like on the radio. I loved making expensive videos and going on fashion Cheap Rosetta Stone V3 shoots, and there was a lot of stuff about business that fascinated me too. I felt good about a lot of the major label experience, but its not where I really shine. Im so much more passionately involved when I get to do it my way. But I still love singing those pop songs.
