My only contact with the outside world was an RCA Victrola, and Elvis would sing, and then I'd dream about expensive cars.

It's been my dream since I was a child to somehow unite people of the world through love and music.

I wake up from dreams and go, 'Wow, put this down on paper'. The whole thing is strange. You hear the words, everything is right there in front of your face.

My dream was to not get a day job but to sleep, wake up and do my music. I want to keep that dream forever.

You can't just sit there and wait for people to give you that golden dream. You've got to get out there and make it happen for yourself.

I didn't want to just be another girl singer. I wanted there to be something that set me apart.
