Sometimes It Takes Some Time Out On

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.

That's Really My Goal Now. I'm Trying To Be A Positive Role Model To My Kids And To Just Enjoy This Ride, Because It's Hard. It's Hard To Enjoy It When You're In It.

Singing And Being Truthful To A Song... I've Developed That Skill, And I Know How To Do That Real Instinctively, That's All I've Been Doing For The Last 25 Years.

But Once You Strip That Down, You Realize It's All About A Voice, Like A Norah Jones - That's Inspiring To Me.

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.
