I Do Want Love. Genuine Love.

I Was Backstage At The House Of Blues In L.a Where I Was About To Perform, And Stevie Wonder And Prince Turned Up At My Dressing Room Together! Stevie Started Beat Boxing And Prince Started Singing One Of My Songs, All Of A Sudden It Was Like I Was In A Cypher With These Incredible Artists.

I've Always Been A Firm Believer That Soul Music Never Dies. The Artists We Still Listen To Today, Years After Their Music Was First Heard Are Mostly Soul Artists; Donny Hathaway, Marvin Gaye, Chaka Khan. We Still Sing Along To All Of Them With Our Hearts.

I Defy Any Woman Who Is Pregnant And Trying To Concentrate Really Hard Not To Feel Distracted.

A Lot Of The Girls I Grew Up With Were Pregnant By The Time They Were 16. I Just Was Lucky.

I Think, As An Artist, You Have To Have Experienced Some Deep Turmoil, Some Kind Of Pain, Because That's What Connects You With The World. That's What Makes It Juicy!
