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'm not looking to go out there and make a rhythmic Timbaland track.

Be kind. It's very needed to be respectful to all.

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.

But once you strip that down, you realize it's all about a voice, like a Norah Jones - that's inspiring to me.

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

My son always makes me feel vulnerable.
