"Spirituality comes from questioning everything but at the same time accepting everything. You can even be spiritual watching TV. When the ad comes on and says, "Don't hate me because I am beautiful," question that."

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

I sort of believe that my voice was preordained; I'm a Buddhist who believes in reincarnation so I think that my voice is a few lifetimes old.

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

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.

Television really has been my vehicle. I don't get played on the radio much, so I've relied on TV a lot.

I don't sing anything that hurts my voice.
