Rampant Eclecticism Is My Middle Name.

The Thing You Have To Be Prepared For Is That Other People Don't Always Dream Your Dream.

What I Think Is The Universal, Wonderful Thing About Music, Is That It's Very Inclusive.

I Was Never Bored Because I Always Had A Book. So I Had A Doorway Into Another World Or Another Universe. It Was Great.

I'm A Chameleon. I Can Change My Voice A Lot. I Always Was Able To, Because In My Family's Music I Was A Harmony Singer, And Harmony Singing Is Really Hard.

Someone Once Asked Me Why People Sing. I Answered That They Sing For Many Of The Same Reasons The Birds Sing. They Sing For A Mate, To Claim Their Territory, Or Simply To Give Voice To The Delight Of Being Alive In The Midst Of A Beautiful Day. Perhaps More Than The Birds Do, Humans Hold A Grudge. They Sing To Complain Of How Grievously They Have Been Wronged, And How To Avoid It In The Future. They Sing To Help Themselves Execute A Job Of Work. They Sing So The Subsequent Generations Won’t Forget What The Current Generation Endured, Or Dreamed, Or Delighted In.
