True diva could not live without smart remark every now and then, a good sip of water.
After every storm, if you look hard enough, a rainbow appears.
When it comes to lingerie, I know what I’m doing.
I am thinking of you in my sleepless solitude tonight.
I think one of the reasons I pushed myself so hard and worked so hard is because I never felt special.
The best part of making music, for me, is collaborating and working with new people and fresh sounds and all those things that get people excited to continue in this business that we all love so much.
The international music scene has grown so much, and America is sort of following that.
The minute I started addressing my feelings, I actually came out of very negative situations.
I’m experimenting with my voice. Every day I do different things with it, and if I feel it’s appropriate I do it on the record.
It’s not easy that everything you do, everybody has to come in and critique it and give their opinion. Sometimes it does help me and sometimes it hurts me as a person. That’s life. I have feelings.
Everyday is a holiday with me.
Especially since I stared studying acting, I feel like I’m always super-aware of my emotions and my feelings and what’s going on with me at every moment.
I think that for me personally, a lot of my choices have been to do with my own issues of not feeling safe as a child and feeling a sense of stability.
I listen to older music a lot more than new singers. I listen to whatever’s on the radio, but when I want to listen to something that moves me I put on a Stevie Wonder record.
You don’t have to be doing vocal acrobatics or singing all over the scale to have soul.
I love “Frosty the Snowman.” My family and I like to go on a sleigh ride with a two-horse sleigh in Aspen, so we all scream different songs at the top of our lungs. I hope it doesn’t scare the horses.
I love all holiday music. My two favorites would probably be Donny Hathaway’s “This Christmas” and Nat King Cole’s “The Christmas Song.” They epitomize Christmas for me. Those two recordings will never be touched. That’s why I’ve never redone them.
I’m not great at putting my hair into a bun, but I’ll do it if I have to.
I can do a reddish-brown or brown lip, but not a bright red. I just don’t look good in it. Over the years you learn certain things that don’t look good on you, and that’s one of them for me.
All I want for Christmas is you.
