To sing a duet together means sharing with someone both the pleasure and the responsibility of making music for an audience which is there to feel enjoyment through music.

When I sing for myself, I sing in a more free, athletic way. When I face an audience, there is always some fear that makes me put the brakes on a bit.

Singing provides a true sense of lightheartedness. If I sing when I am alone, I feel wonderful. It's freedom.

Even in the most beautiful music there are some silences, which are there so we can witness the importance of silence.

To sing a song is like whispering to a child's ear. It is an art heavily relying on improvisation.

A voice is very intimate. It's something of your own. So there's always this fear, because you feel naked. There's a fear of not reaching up to expectations. As you become more famous, people come and expect to hear something extraordinary, so you don't want to disappoint them. I feel this sense of responsibility.
