It's a wonderful thing to see smart, creative women out there working hard and doing wonderful music and still having love for each other.

Soul music is timeless.

Honestly, payola has existed since the beginning of the music business so it's not like its some brand new thing that never happened before.

I'm inspired by artists and musicians. There are so many wonderful and talented people in the world. I love discovering new music, new writers, or new art.

Things can be really empty in this world, and I don't just mean the music world. It can become a very meaningless place if you don't really understand: 'who am I? Why am I here? What am I doing?' To feel fulfilment and have a deeper level of understanding, personally, that is the most important thing.

Mozart would play a counterpart with his left hand while using his right to mock it. It was blue, dark, shadowy - and it made me feel something. That's when I realized music was inside me.
