Forget Things And Have A Quiet Moment.

To Me, It Was About Finding New Opportunities. I Know My Voice Touches People. It Has For Years. I Can't Give That Up.

I've Had Enough Boyfriends And Enough Issues. I'd Seen Enough Train Wrecks.

Did People Think I Sounded Black? Totally, But That Was A Marketing Tool As Well, But Also This Is How I Grew Up And These Are My Influences.

Love Is When I Smile And Breathe Deeply Down To My Toes. I've Given Myself A Gift Of Caring For Myself And Learned A New Way To Look At My Issues. And I'm Lying In Some Fresh Sheets Looking Out The Window At Some Visual Beauty... A Mountain, An Ocean, A Stream, A Forest. A Lovely Man Lying Next To Me Or My Babies Sleeping.

When I First Came Out, Like A Lot Of The Artists At That Time, I Had A Very Polished, Very Overproduced Sound.
