The sweetest of all sounds is that of the voice of the woman we love.

I've finally learned to love my voice for its uniqueness.

The world is full of many beautiful voices; I will perform with many of them. I love women's voices.

My voice is distinctive: there's a rhythm to it, and also, it's funny. I was just blessed with a funny-sounding voice.

When I talk, it shouldn't just be black girls listening.

When the culture is strong, you've got this consistency where black people can grow up in these places with this voice just resonating about our special-ness in the universe. And I always say you're in trouble if you get too far away from that core that grounds you.

Nina Simone had such an androgynous voice; the first time I listened to her I thought it was a man, and I'm sure a lot of people listening to me think I'm a woman. Her voice is kinda like the poster child for me.

I respect women that have a voice and use it for a proper reason.

I love the Black Keys because I love that guy's voice.

For the most part, I've been influenced by black singers and singers I couldn't sound like. Whenever I tried to do a dark note or a bent note, I would just sound like Hootie And The Blowfish.
