I find fragrance to be such a mood enhancer and definitely a seduction tool.

Independence was a big, big thing for me. I saw my voice as a way out - 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.

It's been a joy to be a part of other people's journey, to be able to inspire and be a part of new singers coming up in this business.

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

You used to have to sing and convey emotion, and now, well, technically you can do anything with technology. It sucks for music today, but that's why that old music feels so good to me.

I was brought up in a household of chaos and I never felt stable at home.

The schedule is crazy - it's all suitcases and hotel rooms and you just go nonstop. It's a crazy lifestyle, it really is.
