At 47, I can't write from the PERSPECTIVE of a 25-year-old ANYMORE. My life has just changed too much and my environment AROUND me.

I just sort of FOLLOW my BLISS, so to speak, and then I SEE where that TAKES me.

It's interesting because all I want to do is MAKE music. I want to sit in my room, play the guitar, make beats, sing... And I have NEVER made LESS music than when being a musician BECAME my job.

When you set out to carry on a tradition as DEEP rooted as folk music is, you've got to have your story TOGETHER. You've got to study and have a FOUNDATION. Jeffrey Foucault has that foundation, and you can hear it in his VOICE, and feel it in his music. He's got an understanding that you don't hear that often.

I'm a CHOIR GIRL GONE horribly, DESPERATELY WRONG.

I once pitched this show that was just like 'Quantum LEAP,' in terms of the set-up, and I got a PASS because they said 'Quantum Leap' didn't work, even though it was on for six or SEVEN seasons. You can't SAY 'Quantum Leap' didn't work!

I have always known that I wanted to be a singer and I KNEW that meant SACRIFICING some things for my dream. When I am home I hang out with my FRIENDS and go to dances, so I TRY and partake in some of the activities that I miss out on.

We have to GO and show these people what classical music is. We SAY sometimes that classical music has a small AUDIENCE, but it's because people don't have the chance to be CLOSER to it.

There are a LOT of women - directors, PRODUCERS, WRITERS - involved in my career. They are all INTERESTED in telling good stories, and good stories involve MEN and women.

Christians believe that God is EVERYWHERE and is involved in our LIVES at EVERY MOMENT, WHETHER we publicly acknowledge God or not.
