As An Unmarried Woman, I Was Thought

Why Getting Angry? Getting Angry Doesn’t Solve Anything… I Don’t Like Yelling And Fighting And I Can’t Quarrel, I Prefer To Let It Drop… When People Use Disagreeable Words, I Feel Crushed And Remember Them For A Long Time.

The Concept Of What I Want To Do As An Artist Has Not Changed At All. When I Was Seven Years Old, I Fell In Love With Writing Songs And Knew I Wanted To Make Music And Play It For A Lot Of People. Back Then I Said I Wanted To Heal People With Music And Bring Them Together. I Called My Music, "pazz," Which Means Pop And Jazz. To This Day, All Of Those Things Still Ring Crystal Clear.

I’ve Always Treated My Children As Beings In Their Own Right. I Respect Their Feelings And Aspirations Entirely.

My Father Had A Very Simple View Of Life: You Don’t Get Anything For Nothing. Everything Has To Be Earned, Through Work, Persistence And Honesty. My Father Also Had A Deep Charm, The Gift Of Winning Our Trust. He Was The Kind Of Man With Whom Many People Dream Of Spending An Evening.

It Would Be Very Sad If Children Had No Memories Before Those Of School. What They Need Most Is The Love And Attention Of Their Mother.
