I've never been the type of singer that can sing in heels and the gown and all this stuff, because I can't get to where I want to go while I'm in that getup.

When I stop asking questions, something's wrong.

Once I started singing, I realized it was a language I'd forgotten I could speak.

I think that's the role of an artist, right? To touch someone and make us stretch out just a little bit more.

I just love music. I love all kinds of music, and I was exposed to it, me and my siblings, from the time we were in utero.

I don't see how a person can be sensuous - unless they're just, you know, following some kind of script - without being vulnerable.

You have to be willing to look a certain way, and hold your body a certain way, until you get to where you want to go - I'm talking about musically, now.
