In my career I defined myself by my music, and the danger is that one defines oneself based on popularity. As you know, that goes up and down, and you can't judge how you feel about yourself based on what your sales is.

I am held by the creator of the world. I am opening, I am unbounded, I am luminous, I am powerful.

I am attracting a new audience now, one that is more open and more spiritually inclined.

The corporate woman has been defined as the 'liberated woman' and I see that as the exact opposite. I think she now is more enslaved, maybe even more than the housewife was; because she's so out of her power, and imitating male power is not female power.

I think Julia is defining a new feminism. It's the power of the open heart. And its ok to be sexual.

Shaking the past, making my break, taking control, that's what it takes.

My career was about to change radically, in turning 50 I had hit the age where my Dad made a big career and his life started to unravel.
