I've Sung A Lot Of Emotional Songs,

The Best Advice My Mom Ever Gave Me Was That You Have To Talk About Your Emotions. If Something Upsets Me, She'd Say, 'get Mad About It; It's Healthy For You,' And I Could Feel Like: Good; Now It's Over...next!

I Mean, I Don't Think I Would Call Claus To Do An Album Of Big Band Tunes. You Know, Just Like Arrangers Write For The Artist They Have In Mind; You Have To Keep In Mind If You're Going To Work With Claus Ogerman. You Invite Him To Do What He Does.

I Work Very Hard At Being The Best Musician I Can Be Because I Love It.

You're Creating An Intimacy That Everybody Feels, That It's Their Experience, Not Yours. I'll Never Introduce A Song And Say, Now This Song Is About 'my' Broken Heart.

But The Greatest Thing About Music Is Putting It Out There For People To Figure Out. You Want The Listener To Find The Song On Their Own. If You Give Too Much Away, It Takes Away From The Imagination.
