I speak about androids because I think the android represents the new 'other.' You can compare it to being a lesbian or being a gay man or being a black woman ...

I'm really thankful to have my own record label. I've always looked up to people like Madonna when she launched Maverick Records. Even Jay Z and Sean Puffy Combs, who's a mentor and also gave me a shot when I was an independent artist in Atlanta. He came to my show, and he said, I just want people to know about you.
