I'm a very caring person.
And I love kick boxing. It's a lot of fun. It gives you a lot of confidence when you can kick somebody in the head.
But when I first fell in love with the piano, I knew it was me. I was dying to play.
I love my own music.
I love the written word so much, I know it's gonna flow naturally.
I promised myself that I'd never actually admit to listening to 'New Kids on the Block.'
I would hate to make music and people love me for something that isn't me.
If I didn't love it, I would not record it.
It's not until I hear songs that I've done, that I realize how much of an inspiration music from the '60s and '70s has been.
Not because I'm trying to be fabulous, but I love those big crazy Jackie O shades.
Sometimes I've gotten photographs back and people have literally shaven off pieces of me, and I tell them to put it back.
The last thing I want is to walk into my house after a long day and see all the Grammys and awards. It would make me feel weird.
I believe Aids is the most important issue we face, because how we treat the poor is a reflection of who we are as a people.
Once people see this 'Unplugged,' I just want them to feel the spontaneity, to feel passionate... I want you to see another side of me, that's free, and feel where my head is, where whatever happens, happens. I want you to feel inspired.
I fell in love with the piano. I knew it was me. I was dying to play.
I've stepped more into my business and really... taken control for how I want that to be.
When you're talented, you're talented.
We are all one. We're not as separate as we oftentimes think.
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.
When I first started getting into the business, a young woman in a music game that was mostly men, I did feel inadequate.
