I'm from Chicago, I live in Chicago and I wanted very much for the music in Chicago to succeed. ↗

When I made it, I still didn't wave the flag and say, Yeah go Asian people. I do want people to know that about me, but I always felt like at least musically, let me just do what I do and be the best at it. Which is what I'm doing right now. ↗

I feel I was born with the music coming to me, and that's not something to be wasted. ↗

I was one of I think three white girls in my school. So, I was very much an outsider. And plus I was Jewish and all of my friends were black and Baptist because they listen to the coolest music. We were all listening to Ray Charles and what was then called race music. ↗

I used the music kind of as therapy, and it's just amazing that I feel so free after doing that. I feel like I had it trapped inside of me and now I feel free. So it's been a very good therapy session for me as well. ↗

If I had my life to live over again, I would have made a rule to read some poetry and listen to some music at least once every week. ↗

If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music. ↗
