I think Ray Charles did as much as anybody when he did his country music album. Ray Charles broke down borders and showed the similarities between country music and R&B.

I'd like a male to listen to my music and find it kind of fascinating what a girl goes through when they get heartbroken or get sad or get hurt by something.

Music I heard with you was more than music and bread I broke with you was more than bread. Now that I am without you all is desolate all that was once so beautiful is dead.

What's that line from TS Eliot? To arrive at the place where you started but to know it for the first time. I'm able to write about a breakup from a different place. Same brokenness. Same rock-bottom. But a little more informed now I'm older. Thank God for growing up.

O! many a shaft at random sent Finds mark the archer little meant! And many a word at random spoken May soothe or wound a heart that's broken!

I've been heartbroken. I've broken hearts. That's part of life and its part of figuring out who you are so you can find the right partner.

The heart will break but broken live on.

Blessed are the hearts that can bend they shall never be broken.

I always always meant to be on stage. I only ended up even auditioning for television and movies because I was understudying a Turgenev play on Broadway and was so broke that when I got a mini-series I had to take it and was so ashamed because I was such a snob.

I've never really broken this down before but in movies you almost have no connection to fans. And if you do TV you're kind of connected but they know you as the TV name not your real name. If you do radio there's more of a bond there. And then if you do a podcast it's like you're literally inside of your fans.
