I had sold my soul for pleasure.

The poetry and the songs that you are suppose to write, I believe are in your heart. You just have to open up your heart and not be afraid to get them out.

The powerful men in my life have always believed in me: my husband, my son

I always sang when I was little and my father, who was a great influence on me, also had a wonderful voice. He and my mother really encouraged me to sing and play the piano. They were always very supportive.

I am glad so many women singers are being heard in music today. It is healthy for music . . . healthy because it means a lot of men are listening!

I don't think you get to good writing unless you expose yourself and your feelings.

I don't know where my songs come from... If I knew, I'd know too much, more than we are allowed on this plane.
