I think I work in two worlds. I'll always try to kick through a wall. I did that when I was younger and I still have my way of doing that.

Steven [Sebring] was documenting me as a widow with two children, going from 50 to 60 years old. My focus, during that time, was to rediscover myself, stay healthy, take care of my kids and reestablish a relationship with the people.

I am not really certain how original my contribution to music is as I am obviously an amateur.
