मुझे लगता है कि यही एक कलाकार की भूमिका है, है ना? किसी को छूना और हमें थोड़ा और आगे बढ़ने के लिए प्रेरित करना।
I think that's the role of an artist, right? To touch someone and make us stretch out just a little bit more.

मैं अक्सर गायन की तुलना प्रेम करने से करती हूँ क्योंकि इनमें बहुत सी समानताएँ हैं।
I often compare singing to lovemaking because there's so many similarities.

मुझे बस संगीत से प्यार है। मुझे हर तरह का संगीत पसंद है, और मुझे तथा मेरे भाई-बहनों को माँ के गर्भ में होने के समय से ही इसके संपर्क में लाया गया था।
I just love music. I love all kinds of music, and I was exposed to it, me and my siblings, from the time we were in utero.

मुझे लगता है कि संवेदनशीलता और कामुकता, दोनों एक ही सिक्के के दो पहलू हैं।
I think vulnerability and sensuality, they're sides of the same coin.

मैंने बस किसी तरह अपने आप के प्रति सच्चे बने रहने की कोशिश की।
I just kind of tried to stay true to myself.

मंच पर होना और संगीतकारों के साथ तालमेल बिठाना, वह मेरे लिए एक बहुत बड़ा दैवीय अहसास या प्रकटीकरण था।
To be up on stage and interacting with musicians, that was a huge epiphany for me.

एक खास मुकाम है जहाँ आप पहुँचना चाहते हैं, और ऐसा करने के लिए आपको संवेदनशील होना ही पड़ेगा।
There's a certain place you want to get to, and in order to do that, you have to be vulnerable.

एक बार जब मैंने गाना शुरू किया, तो मुझे एहसास हुआ कि यह एक ऐसी भाषा है जिसे मैं भूल चुकी थी कि मैं बोल सकती थी।
Once I started singing, I realized it was a language I'd forgotten I could speak.

जब मेरे पति ने मुझे यह अल्टीमेटम दिया, "या तो तुम गाना बंद कर दो, या घर छोड़कर चली जाओ," तब यह बिल्कुल स्पष्ट हो गया कि मुझे क्या करना चाहिए - इसलिए नहीं कि मैं सिर्फ गाना चाहती थी, बल्कि इसलिए कि मैं ऐसे किसी भी व्यक्ति के साथ नहीं रहना चाहती थी जो मुझे इस तरह के अल्टीमेटम दे - और वह यह था कि मैं अपना घर छोड़ दूँ।
When my husband gives me this ultimatum, "You either stop singing, or you move out," then it became very clear that what I needed to do - not just because I wanted to sing, but because I didn't want to live with anybody who issued ultimatums to me like that - would be to move out.

एक अपमानजनक रिश्ते में - चाहे हम पुरुषों की बात करें या महिलाओं की - महिलाओं को अक्सर शब्दों के जरिए या डर के मारे छोड़ने से रोक दिया जाता है। वे प्रताड़ना को तब तक सहती हैं जब तक कि बात जान से मारने तक न पहुँच जाए।
In an abusive relationship - we'll talk about men and women - women are often restrained, by words or out of fear, from leaving. They will tolerate abuse up to and including being put to death.

मेरा पूर्व पति मेरा सबसे अच्छा गुरु रहा है, और मेरा मानना है कि हमारे जीवन के वे क्षेत्र और हमारे जीवन के वे लोग जो हमारे सामने सबसे बड़ी समस्याएँ पैदा करते हैं - वे वास्तव में हमारे सबसे अच्छे गुरु होते हैं। वे हमें ऐसे पाठ पढ़ा रहे होते हैं जिन्हें हमें वैसे भी सीखना ही होता है, और यदि हम उनसे वह पाठ नहीं सीखते हैं, तो उनकी जगह लेने के लिए कोई दूसरा गुरु सामने आ जाएगा।
My ex-husband has been one of my best teachers, and I believe that the areas of our life and the people in our lives that present the most problems to us - they really are our best teachers. They're teaching us lessons that we have to learn anyway, and if we don't accept the lesson from them, there will just be another teacher to step in and take their place.

अरे, शायद मैं स्थानीय स्तर पर गा सकूँ और थोड़े-बहुत पैसे कमा सकूँ।
Hey, maybe I can sing locally and earn a couple of bucks.

मैं कभी भी उस प्रकार की गायिका नहीं रही जो हील्स और गाउन आदि पहनकर गा सके, क्योंकि उस पहनावे में रहते हुए मैं उस मुकाम तक नहीं पहुँच सकती जहाँ मैं पहु पहुँचना चाहती हूँ।
I've never been the type of singer that can sing in heels and the gown and all this stuff, because I can't get to where I want to go while I'm in that getup.

आपको एक निश्चित तरीके से दिखने और अपने शरीर को एक निश्चित तरीके से रखने के लिए तैयार रहना होगा, जब तक कि आप वहाँ न पहुँच जाएँ जहाँ आप पहुँचना चाहते हैं - यहाँ मैं संगीत के संदर्भ में बात कर रही हूँ।
You have to be willing to look a certain way, and hold your body a certain way, until you get to where you want to go - I'm talking about musically, now.

मेरी समझ से परे है कि कोई व्यक्ति कैसे कामुक हो सकता है - जब तक कि वे बस, आप जानते हैं, किसी स्क्रिप्ट का पालन नहीं कर रहे हों - बिना संवेदनशील हुए।
I don't see how a person can be sensuous - unless they're just, you know, following some kind of script - without being vulnerable.

मुझे लगता है कि ऐसे सवालों पर गाने रचना और उन्हें गाना ठीक है जिनके जवाब हमारे पास अभी नहीं हैं।
I think it's OK to compose songs and sing them about questions that we don't have answers to yet.

हमारे समाज में इसे एक तरह से मंजूरी मिली हुई है: एक अपमानजनक जीवनसाथी अपने पार्टनर के साथ वे चीजें करने में बच निकलता है जो वह किसी अजनबी के साथ नहीं कर सकता।
It's kind of condoned in our society: There are things that an abusive mate could get away with with their partner that they could not with a stranger.

जब मैं सवाल पूछना बंद कर देती हूँ, तो कुछ तो गड़बड़ है।
When I stop asking questions, something's wrong.
