I feel that through my father's music I've found my own voice in my own playing.

My father was not a bully. I almost never heard him raise his voice to anybody.

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.

I get my voice from my mother's side of the family. My mother and my grandmother both had strong voices.

My dad used to ignore me when I was a kid. He couldn't stand my voice, so he just used to ignore me, and then he'd impersonate me.

I never raise my voice!

When I was growing up my mother would say, 'Your dad may have to learn about being a father because he lost his own and that would have affected him'.

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

My father really was not the dominant person who raised the family, it was my mother who raised the family.
