I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets, looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets.

Operation Peter Pan spanned from 1960-62 whereby over 14,000 children were sent away from their families in Cuba, some never to reunite again. Pan Am flights took the children to Miami FL, 'Never-Never Land', and the children became known as the 'Peter Pans.' I wrote this song for my daughter, and it is sung for all the daughters and mothers, fathers and brothers who felt this pain of separation all because of governments and their politics.

I'm a winter girl. I like coming out when things are desolate and everybody's ready to slit their wrists.

Everybody told me this 'girl on the piano' thing was never going to work.

I'm not like a poker player. I'm not into bluff. My way is to look someone in the eye and tell them the way I'm intending to go. My cards are always on the table.

I love the classic crooners, but I got that from my mother - she worked in a record store.

A key to keeping your husband is getting him to miss you. That keeps a marriage fresh.
