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

My ex-husband has been one of my best teachers, and I believe that the areas of our life and the people in our lives that present the most problems to us - they really are our best teachers. They're teaching us lessons that we have to learn anyway, and if we don't accept the lesson from them, there will just be another teacher to step in and take their place.

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

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

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

I just kind of tried to stay true to myself.
