I try to write down every song that comes to me, even though I know that every song that comes to me isn't a song that I need to sing.

I've been busy and need to slow my little tail down and sit and meditate somewhere. I do my walking meditations every day, but just to sit still. Just to be in one place and just to be quiet.

My voice is who I am, who I was when I was 3, and who I am going to be when I am 90 years old. When I hit the stage and people do not know who I am, they automatically assume, before I open my mouth, I am going to sing a Bob Marley song!

I just let the songs tell me what to do - they are my guides, and they are the boss. So I am subservient to the songs, and I let them tell me what to do. I don't judge them; I just write whatever comes to me.

There is a formula that allows you to write a decent song. But a song like 'You're All I Need to Get By,' it just writes itself.

Amalgamation is a good word that I like to use - musically and in every way.
