The artists I look up to are the ones who push their own limits.

We have something called naked Sundays ... You have to keep marriage alive, spice it up ... We don't need to go anywhere, we're just with each other. We do everything naked. We cook naked.

To be given the opportunity to help shape new artists' careers and mentor them to see their dreams come to fruition is a task I welcome with open arms.

I have a lot of aggression in me that needs to come out in a not-very-precise or articulate way.

I'm not being like, 'Hey, everybody, I'm pregnant!' I'm not that girl.

When my parents fought, I'd run up to my room, put on The Sound of Music, open the window and sing out. My voice was my escape. I saw it as a way out.

Blues and soul and jazz music has so much pain, so much beauty of raw emotion and passion.
