I think we're returning to more of the original vibration of music and creativity through the removal of this distortion called the music industry. That's where we're heading. And it'll cut out a lot of music if people ever expected to make money.

I brought a Border Collie back home to Vancouver from Wales - where some of my ancestors are from - and needed to challenge him in other ways than just being my pet. So I investigated sheep herding and took a few lessons, and decided I was probably learning more than my dog!

I felt old when I was young and I feel younger now. Maybe that's a trick of my mind, but I'm springier and lighter.

I think judgment is from within. It's not a God judging. Someone who is nasty - they're the one who has to sleep at night.

I tour alone. There's no sound check, no back up. I stay with the hosts I am in a family home and it's really nourishing. I just have to remember after the show not to run out into the living room in my pyjamas. Every day, it's a new relationship being built. It's odd and wonderful.

I'm not a household word. The climate for original music is always a bit difficult.

I'd probably be famous now if I wasn't such a good waitress.
