I listened to my record and hear lots of influences. And it's very rich... it's got a wide spectrum.

To be honest, I'm not as goal oriented and ambitious as I once was.

And I think it's a real challenge to be up there sometimes with only a keyboard if they don't have a grand piano... and to try to win people over that way. It's really hard.

Time, where did you go? / Why did you leave me here alone? / Wait, don't go so fast / I'm missing the moments as they pass

The flattery is nice, but awards don't add up to writing quality songs.

I can't say I want to earn a particular award or sell a certain number of records, because even if I do that, the satisfaction only lasts five minutes.

Well, I actually first got into music as a small child, and as I became a teen, I sought out making money from music, weather that was singing lounge gigs, backup in studios, or weddings.

Maybe in past years, perhaps women didn't feel quite as comfortable with revealing themselves, and their skills and their crafts... and now we are, so we're out there, just like the guys.

When I was very, very young - four, five, six - I could see inside people, their motives, their dreams, their apprehension of reality.

a man is no example for a woman. It’s a different thing.

I don't want ever to appear in a film that would embarrass a viewer. A man can take his wife, mother, and his daughter to one of my movies and never be ashamed or embarrassed for going.

There's definitely a large fan base for the 'Twilight' and 'Harry Potter' movies that need their next fix.

Love is a rose But you better not pick it. It only grows When it's on the vine. Handful of thorns And you'll know you missed it. You lose your love When you say the word MINE.

I thought the race could be won in the last kilometers in the park. Every hill I ran in training I ran to gain an extra step in the park.

I didn't see Dr. No for a year, but I liked it when I saw it. It was a fun movie. I don't like the Bond movies now. I hate special effects!
