I think for new artists the hardest thing is putting the face with a name. People maybe heard our song on the radio or something but until they get several impressions of who you are - from whatever it is, whether TV or a live show, I feel like they don't quite connect the dots.
And as I started reaching deeper I realized that most of the blues of that day was done by men. Women just didn't have the nerve.
As an actress, there were so many months, years even, when I didn't get work, when I wanted to quit.
