Quote

My greatest joy comes from creativity: from feeling that I have been able to identify a certain aspect of human nature and crystallise a phenomenon in words.

I just think it's a blessing that I was able to have the gift of words and to be able to put them into music. I was given a great gift all the way around. I didn't ever have to really go out and look for songs, you know.

When I think about my new CD, the word 'joy' comes to mind. I sincerely hope that each listener will feel the earth, spirit, and aggressive creativity emanating from this album.

Poetical appreciation is only newly bursting on me.

Happy is the man whom the Muses love: sweet speech flows from his mouth.

The gift of song is just like... I think music is one of those true things in this world that is universal.

As a singer, the biggest joy I have are the arrangements.

Lyrics are very different. There is a clear line between that and a poem. Something that has been a source of great excitement and delight for me is this idea that I get to rhyme.

It's been a joy to be a part of other people's journey, to be able to inspire and be a part of new singers coming up in this business.

Singing is a gift.
