I had always sung in my dad's shop. I worked there after school, and I'd be singing along with the top-40 records of the day.

It's very difficult for me to say 'I love you' but to sing 'I love you' for me is easier.

I don't pamper my voice. It's part of my body. If my body is rested and healthy, my voice is rested and healthy.

Chelsea Morning is a great Joni Mitchell song and I guess I'm partial to her lyrics because they show me a slightly different perspective on life.

Love never doubts or suffers or cries. Love shows no fear, love tells no lies.

Well, I loved singing in the chorus, and there was some connection for me between gospel and choral music.

I get good vibes from people. There is a thread of DNA that runs from the days that I was a young teenager to these days. It feels good to go back there.
