Stevie Wonder's records introduced me to '70s soul when I was 12 or 13. |
Once people see this 'Unplugged,' I just want them to feel the spontaneity, to feel passionate... I want you to see another side of me, that's free, and feel where my head is, where whatever happens, happens. I want you to feel inspired. |
I believe Aids is the most important issue we face, because how we treat the poor is a reflection of who we are as a people. |
Not because I'm trying to be fabulous, but I love those big crazy Jackie O shades. |
I'm very happy with my body. |
It's not until I hear songs that I've done, that I realize how much of an inspiration music from the '60s and '70s has been. |
Soul music is timeless. |
I really like to live my life in a low-key fashion. |
I'd rather not have anything than be a liar. |
I lived with my mom in a really small apartment. My bedroom was like in the living room. That's why I still love to sleep on couches now. |
I love the written word so much, I know it's gonna flow naturally. |
But when I first fell in love with the piano, I knew it was me. I was dying to play. |
