I'm so grateful that I can play and that I can execute what I hear in my head, because that's the tricky part.

There are certain things we come into this world having to defeat. And for me, and I would not be surprised if a lot of women feel this same way, it's this thing of not being 100 percent comfortable with myself.

I always want to stay focused on who I am, even as I'm discovering who I am.

Rarely, I think, do you find a relationship where you can experience things equally.

Even when I'm singing on record there's a lot of times when I'll fight for a bit of imperfection. I might not have quite hit the note to the perfect pitch, but there was a soul in there and feeling that,to me, delivers the emotion of that moment. For me, doing a show, the excitement of singing live, and the possibility that you're not going to be perfect - that's the thrill of it.

What breaks my heart is suffering of any kind.

He broke my heart, and now it's raining, just to rub it in.
