I genuinely don't feel that anything that's been written or said about me has overshadowed my music, and that's the most important thing as far as I'm concerned.

I like songs with a lot of heart and feeling and subtlety.

Songwriting is something I really need to work on. I don't have very many songs but I really love it. I would love to be a great song writer some day.

During my first photo shoot, I was unhappy because they put so much makeup on me and straightened my hair. I've been stubborn ever since.

I could do without 'cool' publications calling me 'mom jazz.' But I laughed all the way to the bank, baby.

I don't go about playing music differently. It changes my sleeping schedule and my drinking habits, that's what I like to say.

I just want to make my music, and I want it to stand on its own.
