I think it's OK to compose songs and sing them about questions that we don't have answers to yet.

In an abusive relationship - we'll talk about men and women - women are often restrained, by words or out of fear, from leaving. They will tolerate abuse up to and including being put to death.

I think vulnerability and sensuality, they're sides of the same coin.

I just kind of tried to stay true to myself.

When my husband gives me this ultimatum, "You either stop singing, or you move out," then it became very clear that what I needed to do - not just because I wanted to sing, but because I didn't want to live with anybody who issued ultimatums to me like that - would be to move out.

I often compare singing to lovemaking because there's so many similarities.
