I wish I had given more time to learning classical singing.

I feel God has sent me to Earth to sing. I started singing when I was five, but I don't think I've worked as hard as many other people.

I have been singing for the last 50 years, you know, so I deserve a break. Besides, there are talented singers around who can do justice to their work.

From my experience and understanding, I believe money follows name and fame, while recognition calls for a huge amount of sacrifice. To get something, you have to lose something. That's the rule of life.

Every moment of one's existence one is growing into more or retreating into less. One is always living a little more or dying a little bit.

I am devoted to my husband and son. I am devoted to the practices and rituals that imbue our lives with a sense of meaning and purpose, that help me to live my days in the most emotionally and intellectually productive manner. I am devoted to the idea of devotion itself.

While creating Moon Shoes, I had no idea that I was doing it. The experience was extremely organic, considering that I was making music spontaneously and working alongside friends. I chose to title the project 'Moon Shoes' to give listeners a sense of unearthly freedom. I believe each song moves listeners closer to the moon and personal truth.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that as soon as one part of your life starts looking up, another falls to pieces.
