I don't like to go to strange places.

Every day has its emotional difficulties. I miss my mother whether I'm singing her music or not.

I demand perfection in what I do, and I practice very hard before I give a concert-sometimes three to six hours a day.

If I get an idea I put it on tape and somebody else writes it out.

Music has been a burden and a joy for as long as I can remember.

It is difficult to retain your standards with the pressure of trying to make money, which always has its rules...It's hard to walk the tightrope of doing what you think is your best and making money at it.

My name sounds French but that's just a stage name.
