It's important to take time for your spouse and nurture the relationship.

I think it's a given that people know what I can do vocally.

I try to stay focused on my creativity.

I look back at the looks I've had over the years. I'm proud of myself that I had the courage to experiment with crazy hairstyles and some fashion things. Would I do it again? No. But that's part of the learning process and getting from point A to point B.

My parent's divorce and hard times at school, all those things combined to mold me, to make me grow up quicker. And it gave me the drive to pursue my dreams that I wouldn't necessarily have had otherwise.

I am Ecuadorian but people felt so safe passing me off as a skinny, blue-eyed white girl.

I'm not one that just throws music out there to keep it coming, and all that. I believe in the craft, and the time it takes to really nurture something and put a lot of effort into the details.
