Painting is fun for me. Since you ve been out of the limelight for a while, people have been feeling that you disappeared. I m doing what everyone else is doing that I never had the opportunity to do before, which is living my life. I was focused on singing, songwriting, performing and recording all those years, so that s all I did. Now I have the opportunity to do other things.
Real life is very challenging.
People in the music business live a very sheltered life. It s been nice to fall back into real life on life s terms. Yes, I went to a Caribbean Island for about ten days and kicked back. I had a wonderful birthday cake that said Happy Birthday To Me. The baker let me decorate my own cake, which was fun.
