This Is An Election Year, And I

What My True Addiction Is Is Reading. I Love To Read. If I'd Get Too Loaded, I Couldn't Remember The Sentence I Just Read.

When I Was Taking Arithmetic In The First Grade I Said To Myself, "i'm Going To Be A Singer. I Don't Have To Worry About Numbers." I Didn't Think I Was Going To Be Famous Or A Star.

Ninety-nine Percent Of Singing Is Listening And Hearing, And So Then 1 Percent Of It Is Singing.

The Dream World Of Sleep And The Dream World Of Music Are Not Far Apart. I Often Catch Glimpses Of One As I Pass Through A Door To The Other, Like Encountering A Neighbor In The Hallway Going Into The Apartment Next To One’s Own. In The Recording Studio, I Would Often Lie Down To Nap And Wake Up With Harmony Parts Fully Formed In My Mind, Ready To Be Recorded. I Think Of Music As Dreaming In Sound.

I'm A Chameleon. I Can Change My Voice A Lot. I Always Was Able To, Because In My Family's Music I Was A Harmony Singer, And Harmony Singing Is Really Hard.
