Q: You had a record label, Crave, while you were on Columbia. Any plans to start another imprint?
A: Well, that was a bleak experience, because it wasn't even my idea to do it. And then I got blamed for it not working out. And it conveniently didn't work out when I left my husband [then -Sony Music chief Tommy Mottola], which I still can't believe I was married [to], but we won't go into that. So that was a lot to put on somebody's shoulders who really didn't want to do it.
They really had her slaving The marriage seemed forced

Q: You have 16 #1's on The Billboard Hot 100. The Beatles hold the record at 20. How important is breaking that record to you?
A: I'm so not about that, because I don't even think people want anybody to beat the Beatles' record. How can I even put myself in a category with these people? I so don't. Hearing [my records] on the radio so much and feeling the love from the fans, that seems real to me and that's what I look toward.
People always underestimate ha thinking she's not self-aware of her place in the industry, because she's a diva.
