Quotes
Once someone asked me three words that best describe me and I said
'Loud, Louder, and Loudest'!
I wear glasses, have a big scar, I sing loud, and I am blond. I'm sorry!
I'm a fighter by nature and nothing will ever change that.
I don't think I'm meant for this. I think I need to be a therapist or something.
I live a very real life.
I was told that I
needed to look a certain way, to sound a certain way, to move a certain
way and all I wanted to do was just sing. I couldn’t understand why
this was such an issue.
it just took a while
before I got the fever to actually sing.
I've worked with
people who tried to get me to sing like Celine
Dion or LeAnn Rimes, but it didn't sound right -- it was like taking
away my character.
I am a Freak of
Nature, I’ve always gotten looks of shock (or horror), depending on
how you look at it, because I gather the way that I look doesn’t match
the way I sound. So this album is basically about those types of people
-- freaks. I guess you could say that I’m telling their story as well
as mine.
It was a very
liberating record to make, I’ve always liked the idea that some of my
favorite artists have been "freaks," or non-conformists, and
that gave me courage, a constant reminder in the studio to make the
record the way that I wanted.
We had two months to
make the record, and that was good by me. We had no time to second guess
or to get cute, so the writing and recording was spontaneous, raw and
direct.
For those with
Crohn’s, holding in our emotions or masking her unhappiness fuels the
symptoms, What is seen as a curse for some, is a gift for me, because it
has helped me to discover who I really am as a person. The disease has
given me a clear window to my own emotions, which causes me to live each
moment and to understand exactly how I’m behaving in a particular
situation.
It's not just one
sound that carries you through Freak of Nature, I find it to be a
playful recording with attitude. It's strong and powerful to me, but in
the end people should make up their own minds.
It was called The
Cut. It's like an MTV version of Star Search. That's how I describe it,
and the only thing I can say is this whole year and a half has been the
biggest fairy tale story. Before I did The Cut, I was on unemployment. I
stopped singing. I was discouraged. It was everything. I got fired from
a job for the first time.
