I'm passionate about nature and the respect, peace, and beauty I derive from it. My voice, my live performance, and when I'm in the studio. My children and love.

I have always loved Ed Norton and Ryan Gosling. Also Julianne Moore and Cate Blanchett.

I just try to get out of my own way because if anyone is their own worst enemy, it's usually you.

Emotional pain makes me want to isolate. Or hit back. It's very tough to rise above my natural inclinations. I'm always working on this.

I feel I am blessed that I have found my stride and relaxed into my life's purpose.

Forget things and have a quiet moment.

Did people think I sounded black? Totally, but that was a marketing tool as well, but also this is how I grew up and these are my influences.
