"I'm always going to do that - record and make music."

"I could do without 'cool' publications calling me 'mom jazz.' But I laughed all the way to the bank, baby."

"Nature teaches us a valuable lesson: the silence between the notes creates the music."

"I grew up with classical music when I was a ballet dancer. Now when I have to prepare an emotional scene, to cry or whatever, I listen to sonatas. Vivaldi and stuff. It's just beautiful to me."

"For me the visual is just as important as the music."
