There's a kind of intimacy that can happen between musicians, and if they're people you enjoy and respect as humans, that intimacy is a real privilege.

To me, soul music is anything that is made from the heart, and therefore moves the listener; it's not overly self-aware, and leaves room for the listener to make their own conclusions.

If I can't connect emotionally with the music I'm making, there's no point making it in the first place.

I didn't think I would ever get married, and that was a choice.

I have four grandchildren now and I love being a granny.

I am delighted by how much I enjoy being married.
