I learned the cello , but I would still need a massive amount of practice. But I do play classical music, so I understand where that comes from.

When I was first learning songs, I'd have a favorite song, and I'd take the chords and twist them around. I'd learn the chords and then play them backward. That was my first experimenting with writing a song.

I acted before I sang. And I did The Cosby Show, and things like that. But the music kind of came first. And it was a part of my essence. So I knew that I would evolve into this world.

When I first started getting into the business, a young woman in a music game that was mostly men, I did feel inadequate.

I'd rather not have anything than be a liar.

Sometimes I feel good, at times I feel used. Loving you darling, makes me so confused.

I think being really connected to a higher power, of having a spirituality to me, has been really good for me and I pray all the time.
