I always sang standards because the songs I wrote for myself weren't as easy to sing.

I had a mastectomy in 1998, and then chemo.

I've learned that nobody's perfect, and I don't expect myself to be perfect anymore.

Worrying too much about other people's ears and not my own, I lost my way.

I just want to show off my scar proudly and not be afraid of it.

You usually can't tell what's inspiring until you look back on it.

My look was even more solidified when I started singing in Greenwich Village with my sister Lucy. We wore matching dresses as the Simon Sisters.
