I feel like at 50 I've decided to become a rock star, which is, you know, typical of me. I always seem to work backwards.		119
I think I have allowed my voice to experiment with the different genres. And I think that I have just really enjoyed the journey of getting to know my voice and seeing what it's capable of, what it's not capable of.		120

There are days when I still want to be able to do what I want when I want, but there's also something wonderful about being secure.		207
