Later in life, the memories I have of my mother are of constant work balanced with caring for my ailing father.

I voted, always vote. It's very important to me. My kids, I take them with me since they were little, so they realize it's a responsibility.

You can put things off until tomorrow but tomorrow may never come.

If there's ever been a dark moment in my life... well, I wanted to check out. Music was a big escape.

I think it's important to have a happy parent.

It's important to me that the words that I put out there into the cosmos, into the universe, be empowering or somehow positive for people that hear them, or maybe be cathartic if someone is having a relationship that's having a tough time.

I'm careful what I put out there into the universe, musically. I don't take it lightly.
