I tried not to make a format because you know they never really have a format for their songs. It`s very loose. I tried not to have a format.

The thing that I like about being me is that everybody gets a different feeling from me.

I`m not a cheerleader. I`m not trying to pretend to be sweet and then come out and be bad. This is who I am.

It`s a mood record. Like one night you`re going to be down in the dumps depressed because you`re thinking about your ex-boyfriend and the next moment you`re gonna be like screw him you know? And the next one you`re saying to yourself "God I`m in love."

There`s a million new people in the studio every day creating new stuff so I really had to be on my toes with this one so I could get it out before somebody else could.

I believe we have all this image stuff and blah, blah, blah but at the end of the day it all boils down to music don`t you think?

I mean a song that`s specifically for the girls. It`s saying you know we talk about them night and day, we`re constantly pondering on men and what they`ve done good and what they`ve done bad and all these things in our lives.

I do house things. I paint. I do portraits. I also paint my house.

I believe honesty comes across in music because for people that music isn`t just something to dance to. For people for whom music is something that they feel, they understand what I`m talking about.

I like the idea that people have formed their own opinions. And of course once people meet me or talk to me their opinion totally changes because I`m much more that girl that you hang out with than you think.

They`re hit writers. They`re gonna write me a hit whether I wanted it or not you know? I could have put out a single a year ago with the Neptunes and maybe been writing now on top but that was not the path that I chose.

You know a lot of times you`ll find girls in a club are jaded to the other girls in the club. There`s a nasty vibe between the chicks in the club. It`s like a pretty girl can`t look at another pretty girl and say Wow she`s pretty.

My major influence was my ten years older sister.

It`s our sexuality, our one weapon that a man doesn`t have, so you can take him down to size in an instant. I couldn`t imagine not being a female, being able to just go into a club, and just work it, and control the situation.

I mean there are tons of reasons. Well first of all. I write my own record. I don`t take other people`s materials. And I have a job which is being Willa Ford on top of getting back in the studio and writing and recording.
