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

I'd love to work with Missy Elliott. I'd love to work with Bonnie Raitt. I'd love, love, love to work with Barbra Streisand. I'm reaching, because why not? You don't know what's going to happen in this life.

I need to find creative diversity because if I get stuck, I get unhappy.

I could float in the pool for hours, just letting the water carry me.

I always wanted to be a renaissance woman, do as many things as I possibly can and hopefully do them well or don't do them at all.

Nikki Giovanni! I got a book of hers from the library, and there was this woman who could paint me on paper with words - my whole little experience. I thought it was wonderful.

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.
