A lot of what I have always done is do other singers.

I love working with the quartet. I have more freedom and flexibility.

I really just followed my musical instincts every step of my life.

I feel fortunate that I was able to step away from it when I wasn't interested.

I think that it can be said of a lot of artists, and myself included, that we made the same record over and over from the beginning.

There is not a lot that keeps me glued to the radio as I used to be.

I'm still trying to re-create a Ray Charles concert that I heard when I was fifteen years old, and all my nerve endings were fried and transformed, and electricity shot through me.
