Quotations

• "I'm a church ministers daughter and my parents were ferocious in their belief that there is a Heaven and Hell. I was drawn to my maternal Grandfather. He was a haven for me, a lighthouse. A cherokee, his belief in the spirit world was fluid and warm, not scary in the least. Death, in his view, was part of life. We would die but our soul would continue and there was a Great Spirit that touched everything." -Daily Mail (U.K.), November 18, 2001
• "I wanted to marry Lucifer?I don't consider Lucifer an evil force?.I feel his presence with his music. I feel like he comes and sits on my piano?"
• "We can't separate ourselves from what we create. I've heard a lot of people say, 'They're only words.' But words are like guns; they're very powerful."
• "There are times when you miss playing with musicians you respect. And there are times when you love the freedom that improvisation gives you. When you're alone, you can change up even before your hands start moving, even before your brain can. You can just say, 'Oh, not working. Moving to another song. Gone. Next.' There is a freedom in that if you use it to your advantage."
