My Size Has Helped Make

Abba Was A Direct Influence On Me.

My Life Hasn't Been Conventional And It Hasn't Been Linear. I've Had To Make It Up As I've Gone Along, Which Has Taught Me A Lot. If You Don't Accept The Obvious Options That Are Laid Out For You, It's Up To You To Work Out Where You're Going And To Create Your Own Specific Rules And Goals.

I Work Really Well Under Pressure But I Really Hate Doing Things On A Timeframe.

You Don't Pigeonhole Yourself, People Pigeonhole You. If The World Is Not At A Place Yet Where It Can Just Be Like, "this Music Is Gay And It's Music," Then It's Not My Fault That It Gets Pigeonholed, It's Not The People In The Band's Fault, It's Because People Won't Just Let Music Be Music, People Who Need To Put A Name On Something Or To Critique Something.

I've Never Had A Very Quiet Voice. I Tried In Choir To Make It Smaller, And It Just Didn't Work Out. And I Listened To A Lot Of Soul Music When I Was Growing Up On My Own Accord. But I Was Mostly Into Mama Cass And Gladys Knight, And They All Had Big Voices Too; Just Different Than Mine.
