Dysphonia is not a singing problem. It's a voice box issue in the muscle on the voice, very different from having a nodule on the vocal cords, which I've never had. I'm lucky that I've never had that. It needs a long renewal time, and even today, I am still addressing it.

I really hope my peers appreciate and respect what I'm doing.

I'll always be sad that my marriage ended.

All I ever intended was to make a living at what I do. Everything I've achieved since then is above and beyond.

I was in a very deep, dark slump, and I needed to find a way to get myself out of it. I had to force myself back out into life, back out into experiencing things.

Yes, you can lose somebody overnight, yes, your whole life can be turned upside down. Life is short. It can come and go like a feather in the wind.

I love to cook.. but nothing that had to die.
