When I was taking arithmetic in the first grade I said to myself, "I'm going to be a singer. I don't have to worry about numbers." I didn't think I was going to be famous or a star.

What I think is the universal, wonderful thing about music, is that it's very inclusive.

I think if you do what's in your heart - Joseph Campbell always says you have to follow your bliss, and if you do, doors open where you didn't even realize there were doors.

Story is what's most important.

I can't sing half as well as Claudia Lennear. Hats off to her, but somehow, things happened for me.

Love will abide, take things in stride.

I believe in the empirical wisdom of science, just to start with, so I hope that there might be some treatment out there that might be helpful.
