I don't think I came to music. I think music came to me - or was already embedded when I came into this sphere, this realm, this Earth.

I came from the Philippines and Filipinos are incredibly musical. I mean the best cover bands in the world come from Manila!

Music saved my life. I mean, music is life. It is everything to me. It's why I can meet people - I was so shy as a kid, and when I started to write songs and perform them with my sister in front of the public, people started to talk to me, and that made me feel really good. Everything about it has always been positive.

If you can give people happiness, you're in their hearts. Now you can just start having conversations with people that you would not have had under other circumstances.

You can't have an all-girl band! They'll get pregnant, and they'll never stay together.

I rented a summer home in the winter on Long Island, I took long walks, and then I ended up moving to Woodstock. It was a fertile musical area and time, and I played with a lot of different musicians there, including getting into women's music, and I ended up playing with Cris Williamson.
