I've always been a workhorse.

For now I'm just enjoying being a mom. I don't want to be more famous and more rich. I want to be a good mom.

Life is seductive, yet so few allow themselves to be seduced.

Without a band, I'm much more free to improvise.

Lots of people have gone from public housing to do great things in the world and have a tremendous sense of duty to their fellow man because of it.

I was turning 20 during my first record. Those decade birthdays always kind of cause me, it seems, to reflect, look back, and then look forward. I just was closing this period of my life where I was living in a car and scrambling my whole life to then signing a six-record deal with Atlantic.

I developed a loyal following. No one knew I was homeless.
