I sang in the coffee houses . . . in the early 60's with no idea of success in terms of records or television. I just thought I was a storyteller. I had this deep, bassy voice. But I had incredible passion for the music I was singing.

Experience is how life catches up with us and teaches us to love and forgive each other.

When inspiration does not come, I go for a walk, go to the movie, talk to a friend, let go... The muse is bound to return again, especially if I turn my back!

Music can speak louder than words, and I will use my music to speak out on behalf of children everywhere.

Music is always occurring. It is just a matter of marketing, attention, and many other factors, that determines whether people will hear these songs or not.

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!
