When I started performing, I played acoustic music, partly because that way you don't have to worry about interacting too much with other people creatively. Asserting myself in that way was not really a strong point for me.

There's simply too much fuss about myself.

I don't concern myself too much about calories and fat.

I was asked to sing with Mavis Staples on a gospel compilation called 'Oh Happy Day.' And, you know, other than being totally intimidated at the prospect of singing with Mavis, I was honored. I don't really have much of a background in gospel music.

I trust people too much, and the other tragedy is I can't say no.

People read way too much into personalities and all that stuff.
