I like to exercise. I always walk an hour a day, I swim 250 days a year and I do balancing exercises which take me an hour.
Musicians are there in front of you, and the spectators sense their tension, which is not the case when you're listening to a record. Your attention is more relaxed. The emotional aspect is more important in live music.
Mostly I'm proud to be an African-American woman, but I'm glad I have a universal look as well.
