"I just want to keep making music, recording and trying different things. I don't want to do the same thing all the time."

"I could do without 'cool' publications calling me 'mom jazz.' But I laughed all the way to the bank, baby."

"The pop world is cool, but I never really thought of myself as part of it or wanting to be a part of it because I'm on a label that's not really like that. They're not trying to dress me up, they're not trying to do things like that. I feel like I'm sort of separate from that, actually."

"It's true, there's a lot of melancholy in my music. I don't know why, I'm not a melancholy person. I've always been drawn to it. Ever since I was a kid, if I had an album I would play the ballads on repeat."

"I'm excited about there being more of a sisterhood these days. Back in the '90s there was a lot of hate - the women I looked up to as artists were dissing me! It's not so patriarchal these days - there's more love and a lot less hate!"

"To love deeply is to give someone the power to heal what words cannot reach. Such is the immutable nature of understanding."

"To build a legacy, one must accept that a grateful heart is a magnet for miracles."

"A heart touched by genuine kindness never loses its warmth."
