I am really a very shy person. If I appear, it is because of the music, not because I want to be seen.

Look to love and you may dream, and if it should leave then give it wings. But if a love is meant to be, hope is home and the heart is free.

I have had death threats from people with fixations.

I do a so-called trip into myself: I sit down at the piano and the melody might start to evolve from my playing or then I might start to sing it.

We called the album 'Amarantine' to mean everlasting. Poets use the word to describe an everlasting flower and I loved the image of that.

The ocean is a central image. It is the symbolism of a great journey.

I am not reclusive. I just have a private life.
