I seek no longer to be a 'famous' person, and instead I wish to live a 'normal' life.

I feel that I was a useful contributor to society, and that I couldn't be a contributor to society in any other way.

People always complain, 'you never invited me to your wedding', but I prefer casual weddings.

It's OK to assert yourself. Obviously, as a woman, I do experience the consequence of asserting yourself - you're not supposed to assert yourself.

When I sing, it's the most solitary state: just me, and the microphone, and the holy spirit. It's not about notes or scales, it's all about emotion.

That's my feeling - that real God and religion are two different things and that religion is trying to obscure what God really is.

What I hope is to really focus on being a songwriter. I'd love to write songs for other people; that's something I'd really like to start doing.
