When I sing, I pick out people in the audience and pinpoint on them. So if you feel that I am singing just for you, you may be right!

I try to stick with things that I can sing with honesty.

I have simply said that there's just a side of me that could not judge anybody singing. It's not who I am. I don't want to be that person.

I'm very comfortable as a singer. In fact, I think it's more - I identified my self-esteem, my self more in those ways when I was growing up. I really - it was kind of my calling card as a kid.

What I say is from my heart. You must be sincere. So when I sing a song, people are supposed to feel it.

I hope that what it comes down to at the end of the day is that people believe that I believe what I'm singing. It comes down to being believable. You don't have to be likeable; generally, though, I think I am.

People used to say nobody can sing my songs but me - they're too personal.

I'm not a singer. I've sung in character, but it's just not my thing.

So don't think in reality I am a singer, I think I am a human being that has sung always all her life, and has learned a little to sing, and has found herself in the middle of a career.

Singing is just another outlet to express what I feel and to show everyone who I really am. I really don't talk about my personal life that much in interviews because that's my life, but with music, the way I write explains who I am.
