I think the greatest amount of pressure is the pressure I place on myself. So in a way I chose to be alone.

I like looking feminine and I enjoy being a role model. I enjoy being a woman. It all comes down to having the confidence to be who you are.

I like being in the workforce; it keeps me grounded.

I don't like people looking at me; I hate the attention.

I have never been motivated by money.

Women with money and women in power are two uncomfortable ideas in our society.

You know, I didn't have enough money to quit my day job... the myth of the major label deal. Nowadays, you have a tour bus and a stylist and all this stuff. But back then, no way.

I've actually found the image of Silicon Valley as a hotbed of money-grubbing tech people to be pretty false, but maybe that's because the people I hang out with are all really engineers.
