I definitely want to be with somebody who doesn't feel lost or in my shadow.

When you're collaborating with somebody who's got a lot of stuff they haven't worked out yet, you're working out their vision as well.

Be who you are and I'll be who I am. I refuse to take sides, because everybody has their story.

I'm very much an optimist. I don't think I could do my work if I didn't believe there was some kind of hope for humanity.

When you have a knowledge of history, it's very soothing. When there's continuity in your life, it's soothing.

You can't just try to be a performer. It's in your DNA. I really believe that it's either what you are or it's not at all.

I am always hoping to do another CD. This atmosphere has been difficult.
