I live in a world of possibility and opportunity. You look for the light. There's darkness everywhere but you look for that spot of light and you work your way towards it, and you do what it takes to get there.

I wouldn't say that I've mellowed. I'm less mellow, perhaps.

I'm not a saint. I'm not an angel. I'm a human being.

Motherhood was the great equaliser for me; I started to identify with everybody.

The contrast of the world that we live in and the world that is here in Aspen and the world inhabited by women who have no resources, little or no, very few resources - huge disparity.

I have always been a very visual person and a keen observer.

In a sense, the music business and I haven't always been the best of bedfellows. Artists often have to fight their corner. Your music goes through these filters of record labels and media, and you're hoping you'll find someone who'll help you get your work into the world.
