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

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

There's a certain place you want to get to, and in order to do that, you have to be vulnerable.

When I stop asking questions, something's wrong.

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.

It's kind of condoned in our society: There are things that an abusive mate could get away with with their partner that they could not with a stranger.
