I realized that an artist seeking to tell the truth in her art takes great courage. I recognize the courage required to bring children together from Israeli and Palestinian communities to find commonality in music as a very powerful and effective beginning towards Peace.

Art for me is like breathing.

True artists are prophets. I don't want to be that prophetic in that sense because it's so lonely.

Someday I'll be remembered for The phone calls I never made Letters I never mailed And the stories I never finished telling anyone.

Music is something that even when you close your eyes it gets into your body.

The sky is always there for me, while my life has been going through many, many changes. When I look up the sky, it gives me a nice feeling, like looking at an old friend.

Even my mother told me: 'You are a handsome woman, but you're not pretty. Pretty girls don't have those big bones.'
