I certainly fall in love with artists. I think that's probably the aspiration of an artist, to make a listener empathize so deeply that they do fall in love with you.

I feel like at 50 I've decided to become a rock star, which is, you know, typical of me. I always seem to work backwards.

I don't believe that human beings are necessarily monogamous.

I just try to speak passionately about things I'm involved in and moved by.

And I'm not even just talking artists, every single person in this nation has the right to be themselves, live life go team go. I love you Canada, thank you so much.

My voice and the styles and genres I sing all express my appreciation for what I hear.

You have to respect your audience. Without them, you're essentially standing alone, singing to yourself.
