I'm Careful What I Put Out There Into The Universe, Musically. I Don't Take It Lightly.

I Wrote Poetry, Which Got Me Into Lyrics. Stevie Wonder, Carole King, Elton John Pulled Me Into Pop. I Started Singing With A Band - Just For Fun - When I Was 17. And Pretty Soon, I Was Thinking I Could Sing Pop In English As Well As Spanish.

Love Is A Constant Source Of Inspiration, Surprise, And Wonderment.

I'm Very Comfortable In My Own Skin Now. I Started Just Being Myself More And More. For Women, This Happens As You Get Older. I Loved My 40s - I Thought They Were Fantastic. And I'm Loving My 50s. I'm Going To Love Everything Because You're Either Older Or Dead!
