When I wake up, I expect things to be good. If they're not, then I try to set about trying to make them as good as I can 'cause I know I'm gonna have to live that day anyway. So why not try to make the most of it if you can? Some days, they pan out a little better than others, but you still gotta always just try.

I've tried different things through the years to get some play on mainstream. I'll try to tailor-make it.

I'm always amazed by the people who work on stage who sing night after night, day after day, week in week out.

I always loved that old song Banks of the Ohio - it was always such a man's song, so I've always wanted to record it.

There are certainly a lot of things that still need to change when it comes to women in the workforce.

For some reason, I have better luck when I work with women. I guess I have a good sense of sisterhood.

I'm working on my life story. I'm not decided if it's going to be a musical or a movie with music in it.
