I haven't really been able to transfer into that extraordinarily other worldly creature, other than I hope on stage.

There's no performance where I never have to think about setting up a phrase or making a technical adjustment while I'm performing.

For a while it was hard for me to say no to work.

I have had a very difficult time with stage fright; it undermines your well-being and peace of mind, and it can also threaten your livelihood.

My parents discussed singing every night over the dinner table; I had a tremendous music education.

I don't want to be somebody who stands still and sings pretty. Each song is a world. Each song is a story. I don't achieve nearly what I want.

I'm lucky - I can do two things at once.
