«When I got to Paris, it was a different world. French radio-another universe from U.S. radio. I found music that could sustain me. I found jazz and other music that I could call mine.»
«It's work. I recognize that it's work, and it can be hard work, so making it a commodity is not so hard to believe.»
«It's great to have other people's help. Then the music gets heard. There's a lot more commercial support for that now.»
«Seeing how those companies operate, it didn't amount to a massive vote of confidence in their artists. There was talk of me going to Columbia after that, but nothing happened. I got disillusioned, and I pulled back.»
«Things changed so quickly. The Atlantic jazz department just went from under us.»
«I listened to Billie Holiday a lot in order to learn to sing. She remains one of the extraordinary jazz singers. But my intent is to become my own voice, to be able to interpret these songs in my own way.»
