The kind of music or the kind of arrangements that I do, the kind of musicians I choose, is just what I like to hear.

All I want to do is give the world my heart... Record label tryina make me compromise my art.

When I get ready to do an album, that means I have something to say for the sake of words, and I listen back to all of the things I've been creating and pull things from out of the air to go with them. It's almost like I start creating the album before I even think about creating it.

I don't plan how many people I work with. I don't charge anything. It's for my own learning, and I just enjoy being the welcoming committee. I became a doula by default.

The music business is motivated by money. Music is motivated by energy and feelings.

I love being an entertainer - not really fond of being a celebrity.

You don't have to believe everything you think.
