God is ever present. He's in every breath, in every step. He's here, always, always.

When I sing, I have to live in that moment, so my audience can feel that. That is my reason for doing art.

To be a queen of a household is a powerful thing.

I have a few caftans just for lounging purposes. When I want to feel free, it's the closest thing to feeling naked without being naked.

One of the reasons my ex-husband and I broke up is that he stopped eating my food.

That's what I enjoy most about my music, that it heals in its own time and makes us look at ourselves in its own time.

For me, hair is an accoutrement. Hair is jewelry. It's an accessory.
