"I want a performance style that's more cerebral and emotional than physical. I want to be a creative artist, not a whirling dervish."

Previous Quote

The essence of songs is neither vocal nor cerebral but organic. We follow songs in order to be enclosed. We find ourselves inside a message. The unsung, impersonal world remains outside, on the other surface of a placenta. All songs, even when their content or rendering is strongly masculine, operate maternally.

— John Berger
