I didn't want to be an artist.

I'm a songwriter first.

My life has been a tapestry of rich and royal hue, an everlasting vision of the ever changing view.

Sensitive, humbug. Everybody thinks I'm sensitive. Wait until they hear my new album.

It's a very worthy cause. This should happen, and I do believe that tenacity counts. Not going away matters.

I listen to both oldies and contemporary stations. I enjoy listening to current stuff because there's an energy to it that's inspiring.

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