I went to the High School for Performing Arts in New York for acting. I've studied it on and off for years and have done some theater and film.

I write heavily under the influence of James Taylor.

The writing of You've Got a Friend was one of the most incredible experiences because it was mostly inspiration. It just came to me almost as we hear it.

I still believe that everyone is beautiful in some way and by seeing the beauty in others we make ourselves more beautiful.

It's very difficult for me to evaluate my own stuff.

I went to London and performed in Eric Clapton's concert at the Royal Albert Hall. I'll work with him any time he asks me.

In my career I have never felt that my being a woman was an obstacle or an advantage. I guess I've been oblivious.
