My mom, dad, grandparents, we all do voices.

I have to have some of my voice because I have my own experiences that I lived through.

My mother had a great voice. Not like mine, not like my sister's, not like my son's - a high soprano voice, but like a bird. I mean, really beautiful.

My mom has obviously had a powerful influence on my life, and her voice can describe certain things that I couldn't see in myself.

It was clear to my parents that I had the gift of voice, and they encouraged me to pursue it.

Apart from a period of crisis during my adolescence, when my voice was changing and I could not tame it - it was like a kicking foal that does not listen to reason - I have always been told I have a pleasant and recognizable voice.

My voice went recently, never happened before, off like a tap. I had to sit in silence for nine days, chalkboard around my neck. Like an old-school mime. Like a kid in the naughty corner. Like a Victorian mute.

My voice, I'm blessed to have it.

I must say that I always thought I had a voice, even when I was 4 years old.

I know what it was like to not have a voice, so my daughter has a voice. I veto that voice when needed because at the end of the day I am the grown-up, but I hear her.
