If I have to hold a note for a long time, I imagine it as moving and spinning, for the note has to have life. In a way, a singer actually refreshes a note with every beat that it's held.

I think singing it when its done well is extremely natural. It feels great.

The more you put into it, the more you and the audience will get out of it.

It is our responsibility to learn how to speak to an audience that is less informed about music, to give it a reason to want to come and see us instead of going to the movies.

Being steeped in the process of learning and exploring keeps me from becoming too nervous. Partly it's about not getting bored.

I don't like to sing loud.

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