When I sing, I have a sense of peace, I feel like my brain turns off, and I become the core person of who I am - the essence of me. I feel connected to whatever is out there. It's almost like I leave my body and get to watch.

Singing provides a true sense of lightheartedness. If I sing when I am alone, I feel wonderful. It's freedom.

Singing is a form of meditation... apparently the only one that I have command over.

I feel what I sing, and I sing what I feel. Really, that's all I can do.

I really learned to sing in church, I think, really with emotion.

When I hear someone, instantaneously, I'm like, 'Who's singing?' You're giving people so much of yourself, and my voice is the most natural, distinctive tool I have. It's up to me to express myself on a wider scale than just writing vocal melodies and lyrics.

Singing is just a feeling set to music.

I think singing is one of the most natural things that human beings do, but it's difficult.

When I sing, it's different from when I speak in a very interesting way. I think that, when you're singing, a message is carried in a different way. I don't know if that emotion needs a melody.

I always want to bring emotion across in a straightforward way. I don't want to get histrionic when I'm singing. For me that's just not interesting; it goes too far down one road.
