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

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

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