I can't write about your pain; I only know my own.

Be exceptional. Make tremendous efforts to be extraordinary. What a privilege to be here on the planet to contribute your unique donation to humankind. Just make sure you do so.

I never sing a song more than twice because my fear of waning excitement for a piece is part of my troubles. I so rely on vibe, energy and emotions that the technical part occurs to me last.

It's taken me years to embrace the softer elements of who I am and let that shine some.

So it's the greatest compliment in the world when people want to hear you sing. That means it feels good to them, so I keep doing it.

I love the live cut part of making records the surprises are the prizes.

I was singing before I could talk.
