When women make their image about youth and sexuality, and not about intellect, that's kind of a dead-end road. So I think it's a combination of self-entrapment and entrapment by society.

Minimal is the word I'd use to describe how I live and dress, and it's also how I sing. I'm not a big fan of overemoting.

To dance is human, to polka is divine.

There are days when I still want to be able to do what I want when I want, but there's also something wonderful about being secure.

I'm proud that I was one of the first ones out, singing loud and proud.

I believe in monogamy if that's what a couple decides upon together, but it all depends on the personal history and culture of the two involved.

I don't sing anything that hurts my voice.
