'Bella Donna' is a term of endearment I use and the title is about making a
lot of decisions in my life, making a change based on the turmoil in my soul.
You get to a certain age where you want to slow down, be quieter. The title song
was basically a warning to myself and a question to others. I'm thirty-three years
old, and my life has been very up and down in the last six years. |

The white outfit I'm wearing is the exact opposite of my black outfit on Rumours.
Over that it says, 'Come in from the darkness...' [which is] the dark
side of anyone, the side that isn't optimistic, that isn't strong. I've got to
become stronger because I am very sensitive, and everything really touches me. |

I need to do this to fulfill myself as a writer. I mean, it says, 'come in out
of the darkness.' That's saying, save yourself and come back. And it's a serious
thing. I had to do that to do the LP. I had to stop being crazy, or it wasn't
going to be done. Bella Donna was serious ~ I was not talking about a beautiful
woman. I was talking about a beautiful woman becoming old and not beautiful. And
skinny and too tired, the woman disappears. |

This is sort of...the end of a dream. We practiced for like four years to do
that. Thank you girls. |

The song Bella Donna is about getting a little bit of my normal life
back. |
