When an audience comes to one of my concerts, I hope they'll see themselves, somewhere, in one of the songs.

To come to a concert and hear a lot of songs from a female perspective should not make men say, 'Oh well, that's for women'.

My voice is my instrument. ... It is not in the throat, from where it appears to come. It is in my feet and how they touch the floor, in my legs and how they lift and sink with the rhythm of the song. It is in my hips and belly and lower back ...

Time has passed through me and become a song.
