I must be allowed to be as I am.

I have one pug and one Czechoslovakian dog called Prazsky krysarik.

When I record, it feels like I'm in a bubble. There's nothing else in my head right then. It's just that song, and I'm trying to really sound like what the song is about.

My life contains so many other things; I have my children, my grandchildren, my two dogs and a big place in the country. I have my own life.

There is a danger of changing too much in the search for perfection.

The press has always written that I am a recluse and a mysterious woman, but I am more down-to-earth than they think.

My path has not been determined. I shall have more experiences and pass many more milestones.
