On the effect of spending time in Nashville :
"I went to Nashville to officially record a gospel album, but I wound up
with artists and composers of various other types of music far more
secular, like country and folk. At that time there was also a very
lively indie scene. I think there I learned to compose songs that are
intended to tell a story, in which the text plays an important role and
is not relegated to the role of mere filler. Songs in which to express
my personality and my feelings, because that can possibly resonate with
the listener. It was there that I made my first acquaintance with the
music of great artists like Jonatha Brooke and Patty Griffin, but the
most formative of my career as a songwriter was perhaps finally finding
myself alone with my guitar, free to create."
On her desire to 'evolve like Madonna':
"I think Madonna, especially early in his career, when she was laying
the foundations of her character, has been able to evolve constantly,
managing to give the audience at every appearance a new visual
interpretation and concept of herself. She was able to keep up the
interest of the people, because you never knew with what she would come
out with the next time. And, regularly, has offered a solid and
consistent musical product. I hope to do the same, to make sure that
people continue to be interested in me and in ten years, to find out,
looking back, I have produced songs that will never be forgotten."
On her opinion about the recent statements by President Obama in favor of marriage between same sex couples :
"I believe in equality. I believe in love without any limits. I come
from a family environment where the topic lived with many prejudices,
but I have shrugged them off. I hope that one day we will look to this
period somewhat 'as today we look to the period of the civil rights
struggles of blacks in America in the '60s, which is a mixture of shame
and how we are happy for the progress made."
On her look :
"My sense of style is like one of those rings that change color with
mood, always evolving. When I get up, I choose my outfit depending on my
mood. If it is a 'mixture of many things' it is because I feel many
different emotions at the same time, to the point where you feel you
almost have a split personality."
