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.

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

Hey, maybe I can sing locally and earn a couple of bucks.

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 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.
