I just can't stand jazz/rock. I think it's the worst thing that's come down the river yet.

Let me purify my thoughts and words and deeds that I may be a vehicle for thee.

Singing is my profession - there is no plan B.

I have to accept the fact that I was putting out records that reviewers were going to get an image from.

If you're a pop singer, you don't need to evolve. You just get a set together, have some hit songs and play them over and over.

Music is spiritual. The music business is not.

I am about the arrangements and the layers of depth in the music.
